TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – When it comes to saving time and money, Westfield Steel is pulling their weight.

For nearly ten years, Emery-Winslow Scale Company has relied on Westfield Steel to provide the steel needed to produce weighing systems, load cells, floor scales and custom design scales.

Barb Hart, purchasing assistant at Emery-Winslow, said that their scales must be able to withstand harsh environments, and they need steel that can do that, as well.

“They provide us with great service and quality products,” Hart said. “We have been very happy with the products and services they provide.”

Hart said that perhaps the biggest way Westfield Steel helps Emery-Winslow is through offering competitive prices and delivering products quickly and efficiently.

“This allows us to remain competitive with our pricing, delivery dates and quality of our scales,” Hart said.

Most material ordered by Emery-Winslow, Hart said, is cut to their specifications by Westfield Steel, saving the scale company time on production.

“Their quality work and products save time by not having to return material,” she said.

And, if material needs to be shipped back to Westfield, “the turn-around time is minimal and usually within the same day, as they are local for us. There have been many times we have needed material the same day and Westfield has been able to provide same-day service.”

As any veteran businessperson knows, time saved means money saved, and with less time spent waiting for shipments and more time spent actually working on scales, Emery-Winslow can produce more of the products that bring them money, meaning Westfield Steel adds to the overall cycle of efficiency.

“As they provide on-time deliveries, we are never holding up production lines waiting on material.  This is extremely important to our business,” said Hart.
