We focus on the details that define precision … add real value … and enhance quality. For more information, or to talk about your challenges, contact us today.
Our Facility
Exigo’s fully air-conditioned, climate controlled manufacturing facility is located on six acres in the Lehigh Valley of eastern Pennsylvania. Utilizing multiple sophisticated computer systems and unique software, along with state-of-the-art equipment, skilled craftsmen produce both standard and custom products for a range of clients in the pharmaceutical, food processing, and chemical industries.
CRAIG TRAUGHER
President
A highly skilled machinist, Craig ensures that the day-to-day production is completed on schedule and to the exacting standards that define quality components. He learned CNC methodologies from the ground up, refining the art of high-end manufacturing through experience, research and training at every step in his career. He raised the level of manufacturing flexibility by order of magnitude, introducing independently acting stackable modules of machine programming. The result is greater adaptability and response to custom needs. You can see them in use today at Exigo’s Nazareth, Pa., facility.
Craig’s schooling in Toyota’s Kaisen Principles incorporates the concepts of continuous quality and efficiency that can have a major impact on the bottom line. His research and collaboration with toolmakers brings state-of-the-art cutting technology to the stainless steels and other exotic alloys that are at the core of our output.
But it is Craig’s ability to go three deep in the staffing, managing and adapting the Exigo organization to the needs of the client and the ever-challenging marketplace that is his most valuable skill set.
