It is known as the “Constitution State,” the “Nutmeg State,” the “Land of Steady Habits.” It was influential in the development of the federal government of the United States.

His first position began in the plating department. “ I started working here and was trained  in plating along with my own learning as things went along. There’s a lot of technical details to know,” Dwight said. He went on to become a supervisor in 5 months. He spent 5-years working second shift.

Then he moved to first shift supervisor. Things were fast moving and over time Dwight set his mind on learning as much as he could throughout the shop with a mindset to be more versatile and valuable.

High Bay Lathe

He covered many positions in the company over the years: prep work, metalizing, grinding, high bay work, and nickel plating (the only person handling that). For a time, he oversaw the safety department. His positions took him to, ordering supplies, equipment maintenance, heat treating, and crane operator.  All these positions require attention to detail and the ability to think on your feet.

There’s many days when Gary Nalband, the owner, is out here 12 hours a day working, and he’s not the only one— it seems to me that encourages others in the company.” There’s always some kind of problem to solve and that keeps everybody sharp. This is a good place to be working!

Very stringent specifications are required to produce the highest quality. Industrial rolls are at work in numerous industries such as:

• Textiles
• Steel
• Paper
• Film
• Rubber

At MP&P when we produce roll grinding services the benefits include:

• Shorter done time for your business.
• Uniform surface finishes
• Tight tolerances
• Lowered maintenance cost
• Increased productivity
• True-up rollers
• Renew concentricity

MP&P can grind rolls to surface finishes of 2 Ra and tolerances of 50 millionths TIR (Total Indicator Runout) and shape. That means that the MP&P refinished roll will operate as well (or better) than the original roll once it is back in operation at your facility. When your roll arrives, we perform an extensive inspection. Over decades of handling just about every type of roll grinding challenge, our team brings tremendous confidence in meeting the challenge. Our experience allows us to understand required roll grinding process demands set before us. What’s more, we maintain a library of sorts with records of what work we have done for you in the past. This helps us to be totally “familiar” with your rolls when they come to us. That is extremely important because each customer, even if they are in the same industry, is unique in terms of what their rolls need. The value to you of having this kind of historical detail allows us to make determinations on your behalf that would otherwise be impossible. Contact our team today to discuss the challenge you may be facing with your rolls.
