Concept Träningsredskap AB of Sweden Visits TuffStuff Headquarters

In March of this year, just before the IHRSA Show in San Diego, California, a busload of our friends from Concept Träningsredskap AB of Sweden paid a visit to our manufacturing facility in Chino, California.  Cammie Grider, our President & CEO, and Pete Asistin, Vice President of Global Sales, and staff gave our visitors a grand tour of the factory, followed by lunch.

Pete highlighted some of the key points that set TuffStuff’s commercial grade strength equipment apart from competitors: proudly made in America, ongoing research and development, innovative designs, quick lead times, the ability to deliver any size order in three weeks, willingness to customize and modify equipment to a client’s specifications, and TuffStuff’s ability to customize paint and upholstery colors.

 

The group toured TuffStuff’s entire facility.  The steel cutting stage, drilling, bending, laser-cutting, welding, grinding, and polishing are all part of the production process.  Finally, at the Paint Department, the group watched as raw component parts were powder-coated in a dull finish, then slowly moving through two elongated ovens, before emerging with a glossy finish, drawing some “ooh’s” and “aah’s.”
