KEEPING ALL THE PARTS MOVING.

• Position: BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT presented by AMERICA FIRST CREDIT UNION - Quick Turn Precision Machining

Speed and precision are factors in the success of most businesses, but to Quick Turn Precision Machining, they are absolutely essential. Quick Turn is a fullservice machine shop in Ogden that specializes in small to medium fast-response machine work--from custom tooling and intricate molds, to small, specialized parts. Along with state-of-the-art CNC milling, turning, and water-jet cutting, they also offer heat-treating, sandblasting, welding, fabrication, and technical drawing. Brothers Nate and Adam Woods founded Quick Turn in 1997 and, in the 20 years since, their attention to every detail and their commitment to top-of-the-line work and custom service have helped them build a reputation for being a cut above the rest.

As Quick Turns CEO, Nate is well aware of the challenges of his high-demand industry and of what it takes to stay on top. "There's always a lot of stress that comes from working with so many variables and tight deadlines," Nate says, "and sometimes I worry about whether we can pull off one particular job or another. We never know what's going to come through our door, so we have to be ready for anything and everything."

Nate ascribes Quick Turn's success in handling whatever comes its way to the efforts of an outstanding team. "We're able to manage a huge variety of jobs, and usually ones that need to be done fast, because we've got the best machinists, programmers, coordinators, and management team that you'll find anywhere. That's why we've been able to grow like we have. We work really well together and we all love what we do. We especially love exceeding our customers' expectations. And that's really what sets us apart from our competitors, I think. Our customers expect us to be fast--most machine shops offer quick turn-around, after all--but we pride ourselves on making sure our clients get more than that. Our goal is to give them a better experience here than they can get anywhere else--better quality work, better communication, and better attention to their individual needs."
