South Bend Controls Meets Challenges of Economic Rebound with Engineering Services from Hagerman & Company

South Bend, Indiana -- South Bend Controls endured a difficult year in 2009 when the manufacturing industry was hit especially hard from the recession.  The Company, which builds aerospace products and medical control devices for companies such as Boeing, Honeywell, and Eaton, has been in business since 1940. 
 
The times, however, are changing.  Charlie Schenk, Director of Engineering at South Bend Controls, has seen a sharp upturn in business over the past few months.  Schenk said, "Following the economic decline in 2009, and subsequent layoffs at South Bend Controls, we were faced with new challenges as we had to recover quickly and react to the upturn.  Business is really coming back, and we're receiving orders from both current and new customers."
 
While the economic recovery brings welcome relief, it also poses new challenges for companies like South Bend Controls.  According to Schenk, "We approached Hagerman & Company about providing engineering services as we were looking for someone with a defined skill set.  We needed an Inventor expert who could hit the ground running.  Hagerman's Engineering Services have enabled us to execute on a program that otherwise would have resulted in a missed business opportunity."

When asked if Nelson's work has benefited SBC, Schenk told us, "Absolutely. We were able to bring him up to speed quickly, and he was very productive in a short amount of time.  This enabled us to execute on a program that otherwise would have resulted in a missed business opportunity."
