Wauseon Machine, established in 1983 and renowned for its work in robotic automation, tube forming technologies, and precision machining and fabrication, has announced a strategic reorganization aimed at propelling its growth.
The company will now function as two separate entities: Integrion Automation and Steelcrest Precision. This shift underscores a targeted approach to enhance expertise, boost investment, and foster stronger customer partnerships.
"This reorganization is a natural and strategic step in our evolution. Our customers’ needs continue to grow more complex, and this transformation strengthens our ability to meet them with unmatched depth and clarity," said Peter Paras III, CEO of Cornerstone Corporation.
"As independent companies, Integrion Automation and Steelcrest Precision can focus fully on their distinct markets while continuing to be guided by the shared values of quality, ingenuity, and trust that have defined Wauseon Machine since 1983."
