What is your primary product or service?
Bullet Swaging Technology development; building tools to help clients develop new bullet designs and produce them on equipment that uses high pressure rather than heat.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)

How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We do a world wide business, so area is not a factor. Others generally have not developed a complete service package from helping a client with a new concept to producing efficient ways to manufacture his ideas to helping set up the marketing structure and making the business a long term success. We work with any part of that spectrum, doing just the technical delveopment if asked, or helping existing bullet firms expand their product line and marketing, as well as serving as a reliable source for components, packaging, tools and information (books, design software and the "Instant Engineering" calculators that let non-math background people do high level design by answering simple questions.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We just have the one die-works in White City, and after all these years, we are quite comfortable with our size. Every day we solve new problems for people, which keeps it interesting without having to get larger.
