Electric Bike Demo Day at Fab-Tech a Big Hit

Local bike shop, Old Spokes Home, recently paid a visit to Fab-Tech to demo and raise awareness for its E-bike program which provides affordable and convenient transportation to income-eligible Vermonters. Through this program, "over 500 donated used bikes are refurbished every year and provided to customers of all ages - helping them get to work, school, and play without the financial burden of an individual motor vehicle."

A number of Fab-Tech employees jumped at the opportunity to try the E-bikes for themselves.

Merging Size and Safety in PSP^® Fume Exhaust Duct Production

As part of a corporate wide safety awareness initiative, Fab-Tech recently implemented changes to our manufacturing process to reflect a safer way to perform the fabrication and coating of our vent duct systems. Since our largest diameter exhaust duct was among the first to roll off the production line following the process updates, we decided it was time to take a step back and admire the fruits of our labor.
