“To me, Advancing the Machine means always striving to reach higher and challenge ourselves. That is exactly what Epic Equipment and Engineering did on one of our latest projects, a Robotic Transmission Shaft Assembly and Gaging Cell. The process required technologies that were new to us, and tolerances that we have never been asked to achieve before. Epic met the challenge head on, and the result has been a satisfied customer, as well as us adding to our knowledge and expertise to benefit future customers.”

“We have accomplished a record year here at Titan due to the efforts of the entire team. We all strive to make sure our customers have a great experience from project conception to completion and pitch in and do whatever we can to make sure our customer succeeds as their success is in our hands.

One of the most challenging parts of having a record year is [quickly] finding the labor resources. The team here at Titan has been burning the midnight oil working long hours and weekends. Titan was very fortunate to have some of our Burke Porter [Group] family from Epic here working with us to build our machines. Their expertise and talent was a game changer for us at the end of 2019. It is great to be part of the Burke Porter Group and share company resources and talents to Advance the Machine.”
