no one else in America has access to, has giv-
en Howard Precision Metals an advantage in
creating tolerance and efficiencies that An-
derson says, “no one can match.” This con-
notes to precision sawing of +/-.005, and a
guarantee that the product will be square,

time and money.

chain, Anderson says the company recogniz-
es itself as a small fish in a very large ocean,
but it has defined itself well enough to allure
customers from a variety of industries. “We
are certainly not the biggest Aluminum dis-
tributor out there, but our vendors or fran-
chise suppliers want Howard as a distributor
because we add value to their product. Mills
want to be aligned with service centers that
represent their product with a positive im-
age and Howard is known in the market for
producing the tightest most consistent toler-
ances on cut plate and bar in the industry,”
