EITEL NEWSLETTER

Welcome to the New Eitel Website. We have modified the site to be more navigable and to provide a forum where we can keep you up to date with new technologies and new opportunities to improve your existing straightening operations. The Straightening Press is our Quarterly newsletter which will give me the opportunity to inform you of important activities taking place within our company.

The News Flash on the home page will give you links for more information on new developments. This quarter focuses on the new Eitel ORCA2 Control and our program to upgrade existing DOS based computers to this new Windows XP Professional based platform. We are also highlighting a safety upgrade for all manual machines that allows you to install a two-hand control that meets all OSHA safety requirements.

We have also added a page for ordering spare parts for existing Eitel RP manual straighteners. We are in the process of updating our pictures and descriptions and hope to have that completed by mid summer.

Within the company, we are pleased to advise you that we are in the process of being recertified to ISO 9001:2000 standards. We had received certification to ISO 9001:1994 in 2003 but had let that slip due to the poor business conditions in those years. Because we have kept our processes and documentation up to date, we expect to complete the certification process by the end of October, 2007.

Other news at Eitel is an encouraging increase in export business with new orders from Mexico, Poland and India within the last three months. Business has picked up nicely and we are expanding our workforce at this time.

Please contact me if you have comments for improvement of this website as we consider this an ongoing project and want to make it more useful for you our customers and suppliers.
