Moving Forward:

Arnette-Midwest’s commitment to continual improvement in customer service resulted in the construction of a new 30,000 square foot facility in early 2009. This facility serves as corporate headquarters, as well as being the main location for Arnette-Midwest’s pattern making, mold making, and machining departments. This investment in facilities and equipment is evidence of top management’s ongoing dedication to maintaining Arnette-Midwest’s standing as a cutting edge, state-of-the-art presence in the pattern making, machining, and metal fabricating industries.
