“I can unequivocally say that EPICS made the difference in our quest for excellence.  The insights gained from EPICS are additive. The data does not lie. Rocks are overturned making us a better extruder every day.”

Mike Rapport - President, Merit Aluminum Inc.
“When we make our decisions we make them from facts not opinions.  EPICS is integral to our decision making process.  Our best decisions tend to be based upon facts.  EPICS is where we get facts.”

“When we started using EPICS in 1980, it helped us run extrusions. Now it helps us run our business.  We value Foy Inc., not as a vendor, but a partner.”

Pat Lenaburg - Vice President, Western Extrusions

“The most significant benefit of EPICS has been enhanced data collection. Access to real-time data is crucial for identifying constraints and developing strategies to manage them effectively, ultimately improving our operational efficiency.”

Mark Butterfield - President of Manufacturing, Pennex Aluminum
“As a start up company, it was important that SCM integrate a cost effective, turn key operating system specifically configured to managing an aluminum extrusion plant. Foy EPICS extrusion software was the obvious choice and has helped support a faster than expected ramp up.”
R. Scott Kelley - President & CEO, Service Center Metals
“Integrating EPICS into our operations has been a landmark improvement to our organization. After tracking our manufacturing processes on both paper and spreadsheets over the years, we finally have the ability to quickly identify key metrics for more agile decision making.”
