Overall Impressions/Epiphanies.
Amazing to see the scale of projects they take on and the little (in comparison) shop that they come out of. It does nothing but to show how well organized Zahner is and as much as they have made forming metal into an art, they have made the entire process from start to finish as streamlined and efficient as possible.
