Mu myaka ya za 90 rwagati, Hickey Metal yari yarushije ububiko bwayo bwa mbere Georgetown Road.Inyubako ebyiri nshya zubatswe muri parike yinganda hafi yiminota itanu.
Hickey Metal Fabrication yashinzwe hashize imyaka irenga 80 nkisosiyete ikora ibisenge byubucuruzi ariko ikura ikaba uruganda rukora inganda ndwi rufite metero kare 400.000.
Mu 1988, isosiyete yaguze imashini yambere ya TRUMPF mu ruganda rufunze hafi.Hamwe nibi bikoresho haza umukiriya, hamwe nayo intambwe yambere kuva hejuru kurusenge kugirango irusheho gukora imirimo yo gukora ibyuma.
Kuva mu myaka ya za 90 kugeza mu ntangiriro ya 2000, Hickey Metal yateye imbere buhoro.Uruganda rwa kabiri n’uruganda rwa gatatu muri parike yinganda rwaguwe kandi ruhuzwa.Ikigo cyegereye nyuma cyaje kuba Plant 4 nacyo cyaguzwe mu 2010 kugirango isosiyete ihabwe umusaruro mwinshi.
Icyakora, ibyago byabaye mu 2013 ubwo Louis na Nick Peters bagiraga impanuka y'imodoka muri Virginie.Lois yitabye Imana, Nick akomereka mu mutwe bituma atasubira mu bucuruzi bw'umuryango.
Umugore wa Leo, Suzanne Hickey, yinjiye muri iyo sosiyete gufasha Hickey Metal umwaka umwe mbere y’impanuka.Amaherezo azasimbura Lois inshingano.

Ibintu bibiri byiyongereyeho mu kigo cya Hickey Metal ni Uruganda 5 muri 2015 n’uruganda 6 muri 2019. Mu ntangiriro za 2023, Uruganda 7 ruri hafi kugera ku bushobozi bwuzuye.
Iyi foto yo mu kirere yerekana ikigo cya Hickey Metal Fabrication ikigo cya Salem, muri leta ya Ohio, harimo nubusa busigaye ubu bubamo inyubako nshya y’inyubako, Plant 7.
Ben yagize ati: "Twese dukorana neza kuko twembi dufite imbaraga."Ati: "Njyewe nkumushinga wumukanishi, nkorana nibikoresho nkubaka inyubako.Nick akora igishushanyo.Adam akorana nabakiriya kandi agira uruhare runini mubikorwa.
"Twese dufite imbaraga kandi twese twumva inganda.Turashobora guhaguruka tugafashanya igihe bibaye ngombwa ”.
Ati: “Igihe cyose hagomba gufatwa icyemezo kijyanye no kongeramo cyangwa ibikoresho bishya, buri wese abigiramo uruhare.Umuntu wese atanga umusanzu ”, Suzanne.Ati: "Hashobora kubaho iminsi uzarakara, ariko umunsi urangiye, uzi ko twese turi umuryango kandi twese turi kumwe kubwimpamvu zimwe."
Igice cyumuryango wubucuruzi bwumuryango ntabwo gisobanura gusa isano yamaraso hagati yabayobozi b'ikigo.Inyungu zijyanye nubucuruzi bwumuryango nazo ziyobora ibyemezo bya Hickey Metal kandi bigira uruhare runini mukuzamuka.Umuryango rwose wishingikiriza kumikorere yubuyobozi bugezweho nubuhanga bwo gukora kugirango uhuze ibyifuzo byabakiriya, ariko ntibakurikiza urugero rwibindi bigo byinganda.Bishingikiriza kuburambe bwabo nubumenyi bwabo kugirango babayobore imbere.
Mubihe byose kumurimo uyumunsi, urashobora gusebya igitekerezo cyubudahemuka.N'ubundi kandi, kwirukana abakozi birasanzwe mu masosiyete akora inganda, kandi inkuru y'umukozi yasimbutse akava ku kazi akajya mu kindi kugira ngo azamuke gato amenyereye abahimbyi benshi.Ubudahemuka ni igitekerezo cyo mu kindi gihe.
Iyo sosiyete yawe yujuje imyaka 80, uziko byatangiye muri kiriya gihe cyambere kandi nimwe mumpamvu iki gitekerezo ari ingenzi cyane kuri Hickey Metal.Umuryango wemera ko ubumenyi rusange bwabakozi ari bwo bukomeye, kandi ko inzira yonyine yo kwagura ubumenyi ari ukugira abakozi bafite uburambe.
Umuyobozi wubwubatsi, umuntu ushyiraho umuvuduko kandi ashinzwe imikorere yikibanza, yabanye na Hickey Metal imyaka itari mike, cyane cyane imyaka 20 kugeza 35, guhera kumaduka no gukora hejuru.Suzanne avuga ko umuyobozi yatangiranye no kubungabunga rusange muri iki gihe akaba ashinzwe uruganda 4. Afite ubushobozi bwo gukora ama robo no gukoresha imashini za CNC mu nyubako.Arazi igikwiye koherezwa aho kugirango nimurangiza kwimuka irashobora gupakirwa mumodoka kugirango igemurwe kubakiriya.
Ati: “Kuva kera abantu bose batekerezaga ko izina rye ari GM kuko iryo niryo zina rye mugihe cyo kubungabunga rusange.Yakoze igihe kirekire, ”Suzanne.
Gukura bivuye imbere ni ngombwa kuri Hickey Metal kuko uko abantu benshi bazi imikorere yikigo, ubushobozi nabakiriya, niko bashobora gufasha muburyo butandukanye.Adam avuga ko byaje bikenewe mugihe cy'icyorezo.
Ati: "Iyo umukiriya aduhamagaye kubera ko bashobora kuba badafite ibikoresho cyangwa bagomba guhindura gahunda yabo kuko ntacyo bashobora kubona, dushobora guhinduka vuba kuko dufite kwirukanwa mu nganda nyinshi kandi abashinzwe ubwubatsi Akazi kazi ibibera, ibibera ," yavuze.Aba bayobozi barashobora kwimuka vuba kuko bazi aho bakura imyanya yakazi kandi ninde ushobora gukemura ibibazo bishya byakazi.
Imashini ya TRUMPF TruPunch 5000 ivuye muri Hickey Metal ifite ibikoresho byo gukora urupapuro rwikora hamwe nimirimo yo gutondekanya igice gifasha gutunganya ibyuma byinshi byicyuma hifashishijwe interineti ntoya.
Kwambukiranya amahugurwa nuburyo bwihuse bwo kwigisha abakozi mubice byose byikigo cyubaka ibyuma.Adam avuga ko bagerageza guhaza icyifuzo cy'abakozi cyo kwagura ubumenyi bwabo, ariko babikora bakurikije gahunda isanzwe.Kurugero, niba umuntu ashishikajwe no gukora progaramu yo gusudira ya robo, agomba kubanza kwiga uburyo bwo gusudira, kubera ko abasudira bazashobora guhuza ibiranga gusudira biranga robot kurusha abadasudira.
Adam yongeraho ko guhuzagurika bidafite akamaro gusa mu kunguka ubumenyi bukenewe kugira ngo ube umuyobozi mwiza, ariko kandi no guhindura igorofa kurushaho.Muri uru ruganda, abakozi bakunze guhabwa amahugurwa nkabasudira, robotiste, imashini ikora imashini, hamwe nogukora laser.Hamwe nabantu bashoboye kuzuza inshingano nyinshi, Hickey Metal irashobora gukemura byoroshye kubura abakozi, nkuko byagenze mugihe cyizuba cyatinze mugihe indwara zitandukanye zubuhumekero zariyongereye mumuryango wa Salem.
Ubudahemuka burigihe bugera kubakiriya ba Hickey Metal.Benshi muribo babanye nuru ruganda imyaka myinshi, harimo nabashakanye bamaze imyaka isaga 25 babakiriya.
Birumvikana ko Hickey Metal isubiza ibyifuzo byoroshye kubisabwa, kimwe nabandi bakora.Ariko afite intego zirenze kugenda mumuryango.Isosiyete yashakaga kubaka umubano wigihe kirekire wabemerera gukora ibirenze gupiganira imishinga no kumenya abashinzwe kugura.
Adam yongeyeho ko Hickey Metal yatangiye gukora icyo sosiyete yita "akazi ko gukora" hamwe nabakiriya benshi, imirimo mito idashobora gusubirwamo.Intego ni ugutsindira abakiriya bityo ukabona amasezerano asanzwe cyangwa akazi ka OEM.Nk’uko umuryango ukomeza ubivuga, iyi nzibacyuho igenda neza ni imwe mu mpamvu nyamukuru zituma iterambere ryihuta rya Hickey Metal mu myaka itatu ishize.
Igisubizo cyumubano umaze igihe ni urwego rwa serivisi abakiriya ba Hickey Metal basanga bigoye kubona ahandi.Biragaragara ko gutanga ubuziranenge kandi mugihe gikwiye biri muribyo, ariko abahimbyi b'ibyuma bagerageza guhinduka byoroshye kugirango bagumane ibice bimwe mububiko kubakiriya cyangwa kuba mumwanya bashobora gutumiza ibice nibitangwa bishobora gukorwa vuba bishoboka. .mu masaha 24 gusa.Hickey Metal nayo yiyemeje gutanga ibice mubikoresho kugirango ifashe abakiriya bayo OEM imirimo yo guterana.
Ibice byabakiriya ntabwo aribintu byonyine Hickey Metal ifite mububiko.Yemeza kandi ko afite ibikoresho bihagije ku ntoki kugira ngo buri gihe abone ibyo bakeneye.Izi ngamba zakoze rwose mugitangiriro cyicyorezo.
"Biragaragara ko mugihe cya COVID abantu basohokaga mubiti bakagerageza gutumiza ibice no kubona ibikoresho kuko ntibashobora kubibona ahandi.Icyo gihe twahisemo cyane kubera ko twari dukeneye kurinda intandaro yacu ”, Adam.
Rimwe na rimwe, iyi mibanire ya hafi yo gukorana nabakiriya iganisha ku bihe bimwe bishimishije.Mu 2021, umukiriya wa Hickey Metal umaze igihe kinini aturuka mu nganda zitwara abantu yegereye isosiyete kugira ngo abere umujyanama w’inganda zikora ibinyabiziga by’ubucuruzi byashakaga gufungura iduka ryabyo bwite.Adam yavuze ko benshi mu bahagarariye abayobozi b’abakiriya bijeje ko ibyo bizagirira akamaro impande zombi kuko OEM yashakaga guhuriza hamwe bamwe mu batanga serivise ntoya yo guhimba ibyuma no gukora imirimo mu rugo mu gihe ikomeza kandi ishobora kongera umugabane wa Hickey Metal.mu musaruro.
TRUMPF TruBend 5230 selile igoramye ikoreshwa mugukora imishinga itwara igihe kandi igoye yo kugonda byasabye abantu babiri mbere.
Aho kubona ibyifuzo byabakiriya nkibibangamiye ejo hazaza h'ubucuruzi, Hickey Metal Fab yagiye kure kandi atanga amakuru kubyerekeranye nibikoresho byo gukora bikwiranye nakazi kubakiriya ba OEM bifuza gukora nuwo bavugana kugirango batumire ibikoresho.Kubera iyo mpamvu, uwakoze amamodoka yashora imari mu byuma bibiri bya lazeri, ikigo cya CNC gikora imashini, imashini yunama, ibikoresho byo gusudira n'ibiti.Nkigisubizo, imirimo yinyongera yagiye kuri Hickey Metal.
Iterambere ryubucuruzi risaba igishoro.Mu bihe byinshi, amabanki agomba gutanga ibi.Ku muryango wa Hickey, ntabwo byari amahitamo.
”Data ntiyigeze agira ikibazo cyo gukoresha amafaranga mu iterambere ry'ubucuruzi.Buri gihe twazigamye kuri yo ”, Leo.
Yakomeje agira ati: “Itandukaniro hano ni uko nubwo twese tubaho neza, ntabwo tuvusha amaraso sosiyete.”Ati: "Urumva inkuru za ba nyirubwite bakura amafaranga mu masosiyete, ariko mu by'ukuri nta ngwate bafite."
Iyi myizerere yemereye Hickey Metal gushora imari mu ikoranabuhanga mu nganda, ibyo bikaba byashobokaga gukomeza ubucuruzi bw’inyongera, ariko ntibushobora kongera impinduka ya kabiri bitewe n’ibura ry’abakozi.Imikorere yubukorikori mu bimera 2 na 3 ni urugero rwiza rwukuntu sosiyete ishobora guhinduka mubice bimwe byumusaruro cyangwa ahandi.
Ati: "Iyo urebye amaduka yacu, uzabona ko twayubatse rwose.Twashyizeho imisarani mishya n'imashini zisya kandi twongeraho automatike kugira ngo twongere umusaruro ”, Adam.
