[CAUT] Wip't... FYI Resource

[Elwood Doss]

I know this is a bit callous, but it's nice to hear of a plant being
closed in Mexico, rather than one being closed in the US and opened in
Mexico.  We are having waaaaaayyyy too much of that going on!

By the way, Guy, please excuse my ignorance, but what does "SAMA" stand
for and where is it located?
Joy!

Jon,
     With the closure (by Gibson) of the Pratt-Win plant in Juarez,
there 
are quite a few parts no longer available. At SAMA, we employ many
former 
Baldwin plant workers, and we currently remanufacture whippens and other

parts from all manufacturers. Most of the time, it's very economical 
compared to replacement. Sometimes, due to geometry or weight, it's also

preferable to use the original part.
    Just another resource, FYI.

Guy Nichols, RPT
