We said goodbye to "The Twins" today.
This press was affectionately called The Twins due its double-platen design, allowing us to produce panels from two molds simultaneously, producing four panels at a time, all day and night.
The press has reached the end of its life, having faithfully served us since its installation in 2007, when our company was first founded. It has produced millions of siding panels for us and our customers over those 17 years, with the final panels produced on it coming off the line on Wednesday night.
The decommission process has already begun, as our maintenance staff proceeds to dismantle the press and prepare for its removal. It will soon be replaced with a brand new press we've already dubbed "The Big Green Machine"--bigger, stronger, and packed with the latest technologies to continue to produce Siding for the Real American Landscape.
