Of course, it’s hard all the way around, for pretty much everybody these days. So here’s our promise. We promise not to be the fly in your ointment, the bump in your road, or the obstacle in your path.

When you call us, we’ll answer. When you write us, we’ll write back. If you need a part from us, we’ll make it happen.

We want to make your day better. What can we do in our business that would make your life easier? Let us know! We would love to hear from you at www.lemacmfg.com.

The thermoforming process requires many pieces, all of which work together to create the finished part. Our ovens heat the plastic, the vacuum forms it to the mold which was tooled by the CNC, and that same CNC will, in many cases, do the finish work on the part. Working with all of these machines to create quality product is incredibly gratifying.  My favorite days here are the ones where I’m out in the shop, surrounded by our equipment, all of it humming away in the various tasks that equal beautiful part runs.

Come on in and take a tour of our facilities! We would love to show you how we get the job done!

Every business runs into obstacles and this last week has been full of them for Lemac. I’m pretty sure we have a little gremlin running helter-skelter around the shop, blowing out gaskets and breaking crucial elements of our machines. It’s very hard to be patient and positive during weeks like the one we just had, when everything seems just a little harder than it needs to be.

But that’s the thing, in life there are always obstacles. No matter how much we wish it weren’t so, and that wish comes up a lot during trying times, roadblocks happen. How we handle them as individuals and as a team helps to define who we are as a company. The thing is, no matter how difficult the week or the task is we keep pushing through until the problem is solved. That’s who we are as a company. Now you could chalk it up to sheer stubbornness, but I like to call it perseverance. And it’s that perseverance that we bring to the table for our customers, time after time.

Have a problem that needs solving? Give us a call at 360-756-1720. After last week, we’re problem solving experts!

Sometimes no is necessary but often the problem with no is that it limits our options, closes doors, keeps us from expanding our boundaries and expectations. Much of the time, saying no is just about doing what’s been done before because that’s the way we’ve always done it.

Well, Lemac has dedicated itself to saying yes. That doesn’t mean we say yes to every harebrained scheme that’s presented to us, but it does mean that we say yes to challenges, to change, to higher expectations. It means we say yes to going the extra mile for our customers, that we embrace the chance to innovate new solutions to problems.

Saying yes means thinking outside the box, letting ourselves conceptualize ways around sticking and sticky points that present road blocks on the way to achieving our goals. It means coming to work every day with the belief that we can and will do amazing things.

Give us a call and let us say yes to you!

One of the recycling programs Lemac is committed to is the reuse of all of the trimmings and flash created in our production processes. Working with plastics recyclers, we ensure that our excess plastic doesn’t go to land fills anywhere. 

Our latest certificate of Environmental Stewardship gave us some impressive facts about the effectiveness of our recycling program. From July of 2009 to June of 2010 we have saved 206 barrels of oil, 73156 KwH of energy, and 380 cubic yards of landfill space by recycling 25,340 pounds of plastic that would have otherwise simply been thrown away. We are proud of our efforts in this area and constantly strive to lessen our environmental footprint.

 While LMC doesn’t currently have customers who use biodegradable Bioplastics, we are very excited about the technology being developed in this field, and look forward to using those products in the future!

One of the main goals that Lemac achieved for itself  in 2009 & 2010 has been the addition of machines to its shop floor. This means we have repetition in most of our major production machinery, preventing our customers from getting left in the lurch due to mechanical failure. (Not that we expect these things, but if one doesn’t plan for Murphy, Murphy has a nasty habit of showing up.) It also allows us to crank out special express orders for customers who might have unexpected needs for part runs. Our move to 3890 Hammer Drive was a big part of this overall expansion of resource.

We intend to continue this repetition throughout our entire production floor, enabling us to decrease lead times and serve our clients more efficiently.

First, a little bit about us. Lemac Manufacturing is a plastic thermoforming company located in Bellingham, WA.  We have been creating high quality thermoformed parts since 1989 for a variety of industries and applications.

Just recently we moved to a new facility, located at 3890 Hammer Drive. We are very excited about our new building. In the move we doubled our footprint and then some! This expansion has improved our efficiency and also allows us to move forward on larger projects in the future.
