Three years after its founding, the business relocated to its current location in Schnecksville, just off Route 309, 5 miles north of Allentown. The move, into the newly constructed 4,000 square foot facility allowed for the company's expansion, adding computer aided design (CAD) and CNC milling and turning capabilities to its list of services.

With continued hard work and increasing customer demand the company expanded in 1989 by adding another 4,000 square feet of manufacturing space, allowing for the company's continued growth. Additional CNC machinery was also purchased, thus increasing our capabilities and throughput for our growing customer requirements.

As the company grew and diversified, managing it became increasingly difficult. In 1992, a local area network was installed and software developed specifically for machining job shops was implemented to control all phases of the business. Estimating, job control, purchasing, scheduling, shipping and receiving and accounting information were now all integrated and available over the network, allowing for better customer support and decreased overhead. That year we also added engineered plastic machining and fabrication to our list of available services. Originally met with limited success and few customers, perseverance paid off and by 1995 plastic work had become a sizable portion of the business. A separate plastic shop was established in order to maintain a cleanliness level acceptable to our customer's requirements. This shop is currently set up to allow us to machine, heat treat and fabricate polypropylene, Teflon, Kel-F, PFA and PVDF, as well as many other types of plastic.

Again, the need for more space brought about another addition to the shop in 1997. Another 5,000 square feet of space was added to the building, allowing for a black oxide process line, MIG and TIG welding operations, stock cutting, warehousing and a product assembly area.

Plans are in place to improve the quality system in place at Dalla's Machine. With the worldwide move towards ISO 9000 certification, work is underway to revise the current quality system in place, bringing it into compliance with the ISO 9002 standard.

We are a non-union shop employing 35 people at present.

Currently our services include, but are not limited to:

• Conventional machining and turning (most metals)
• CNC machining and turning (most metals)
• Plastic machining (CNC and conventional), heat treating and fabrication

We hope this introduction along with our facility list provides you with a better understanding of Dalla's Machine, Inc., and our capabilities. Please feel free to call us at any time to discuss any questions or machining requirements you may have.
