4. Woman-owned company
I worked at MTE when the opportunity arose to
purchase the company.
I made it official on July 1st, 1989 where I started
with two employees and 3 manual machines in a
3,800 square foot building and now I employ 60
people working three shifts in a 52,000 square
foot State-of-the-Art facility housing more than 35
CNC machines!

5. MTE’s Progress:
After hiring our core group of employees, we
set out to be the best in the industry with high
standards for quality and customer service. To
this day that is still our number one priority.
The three additions were
prompted by additional work
that we were awarded through
existing and new customers in
various markets.
