00:00:18,590 --> 00:00:22,410
>> This is the source,
Our-Way incorporated.

2
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:24,730
The source of excellence today,

3
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:27,500
the source of
innovation tomorrow.

4
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,100
Inside this 200,000 plus

5
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:32,480
square foot facility
just outside Atlanta,

6
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,450
is a unique manufacturer,

7
00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:36,350
a manufacturer capable of

8
00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:38,890
producing the highest
quality components,

9
00:00:38,890 --> 00:00:41,145
including more than 100,000

10
00:00:41,145 --> 00:00:43,130
re-manufactured air
conditioning and

11
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:45,730
refrigeration
compressors every year.

12
00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:48,550
A manufacturer that's
not content with just

13
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:51,270
keeping up with its
industry's quality standards,

14
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:53,230
but that consistently raises

15
00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:56,190
its sights to new
levels of excellence.

16
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:58,850
Our-Way has invested
millions of dollars

17
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:01,410
in our plant, in our processes,

18
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:03,230
and in our people to

19
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,290
make sure the products
we build reach

20
00:01:05,290 --> 00:01:06,470
the highest levels of

21
00:01:06,470 --> 00:01:10,150
efficiency, reliability,
and quality.

22
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:12,400
We're not a simple job shop,

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,910
we're a sophisticated
manufacturer,

24
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:17,390
blending state of the
art technologies and

25
00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:20,965
equipment with a skilled,
motivated workforce.

26
00:01:20,965 --> 00:01:23,580
It's a combination of
excellence that has

27
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:25,680
allowed us to
prosper, to become,

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,940
among other accomplishments,
the largest

29
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:31,245
independent compressor
re-manufacturer in the world.

30
00:01:31,245 --> 00:01:33,280
At Our-Way, compressors

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,500
aren't merely rebuilt
or reconditioned.

32
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:38,660
They're not merely taken
apart and given a paint job.

33
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:41,620
Instead, they're
completely disassembled

34
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:43,515
right down to the crank case.

35
00:01:43,515 --> 00:01:47,660
Then, using Our-Way's sophisticated
manufacturing technologies

36
00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:50,360
and industry leading
manufacturing processes,

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,755
they're assembled to current
engineering specifications.

38
00:01:53,755 --> 00:01:55,900
That means failed compressors.

39
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,205
Compressors 10 or 15-years-old

40
00:01:58,205 --> 00:02:01,100
leave Our-Way's
assembly line like new.

41
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,720
In fact, they're often
better than new.

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,280
And that's because
Our-Way consistently

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,520
updates our manufacturing
processes to keep pace with

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,000
the equally constant design

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,400
improvements original
equipment manufacturers

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,220
incorporate into
their compressors.

47
00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:17,745
Hundreds of changes every year.

48
00:02:17,745 --> 00:02:20,750
Much of the specialized
equipment found throughout

49
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:24,455
our operations has been designed
and fabricated in house.

50
00:02:24,455 --> 00:02:26,650
Our-Way engineers, for example,

51
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:29,030
created this nine-stage
cleaning tunnel,

52
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:31,610
and nicknamed it
the silver bullet.

53
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:33,790
The rest of our facility echoes

54
00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:35,725
with the same kinds of advances.

55
00:02:35,725 --> 00:02:39,490
Air gauging, high
speed boring machines,

56
00:02:39,490 --> 00:02:41,995
automatic honing machines,

57
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:45,580
and a fully automated electric
motor department where we

58
00:02:45,580 --> 00:02:46,920
manufacture the heart of

59
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,340
the compressor, it's
electric motor.

60
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:52,560
Here you will find automatic
insulation cutters

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,020
and computer controlled
coil winders,

62
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:59,045
automated insertion, blocking,
and lacing machines.

63
00:02:59,045 --> 00:03:01,800
It's the kind of equipment
necessary to meet

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,360
the precise tolerance demands

65
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,220
of today's compressor industry.

66
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:07,080
And it's the equipment,

67
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,980
the capability you'd expect
to find only in an OEM plant,

68
00:03:11,980 --> 00:03:14,685
but it's here at Our-Way.

69
00:03:14,685 --> 00:03:18,110
As important as sophisticated
manufacturing processes

70
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:19,950
and equipment are
to our success,

71
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:23,330
our comprehensive testing and
quality assurance programs

72
00:03:23,330 --> 00:03:25,090
are even more critical.

73
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:27,210
It's here that Our-Way adds

74
00:03:27,210 --> 00:03:29,645
even more value
for our customers.

75
00:03:29,645 --> 00:03:32,530
Our-Way quality control
engineers perform

76
00:03:32,530 --> 00:03:35,470
random audits on our
compressors every day,

77
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:37,610
and any compressor
returned under

78
00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:40,370
warranty gets special
diagnostic testing,

79
00:03:40,370 --> 00:03:41,970
the results of which are sent on

80
00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:44,225
to the original manufacturers.

81
00:03:44,225 --> 00:03:46,240
To make sure our compressors

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,980
operate effectively
in the field,

83
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:49,515
not just in the lab,

84
00:03:49,515 --> 00:03:52,520
Our-Way simulates actual
operating conditions

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,400
and tests that study
pumping capacity flow.

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,720
After all, oil pump
reversibility, even noise.

87
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,250
All this attention has
not gone unnoticed.

88
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:05,940
The Underwriters Laboratory has

89
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:08,390
awarded Our-Way its
seal of approval,

90
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:11,770
the industry's highest
testament to quality.

91
00:04:11,770 --> 00:04:14,750
We're among the leading
edge manufacturers in

92
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:17,290
our industry to receive
such recognition.

93
00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:19,050
UL certification is

94
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:21,390
an objective third
party guarantee that

95
00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:24,070
the re-manufactured
compressors we build have been

96
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:26,070
tested to internationally
recognized

97
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:27,310
standards of safety,

98
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:30,390
and have been found free of
any foreseeable risk of fire,

99
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:33,040
electric shock or other
potential safety hazard.

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,230
The UL certification is

101
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:37,850
just one more piece of evidence

102
00:04:37,850 --> 00:04:40,250
that the Our-Way way is working.

103
00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:42,150
But what about tomorrow?

104
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:45,750
What will keep Our-Way at the
forefront of our industry?

105
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:49,890
First, there's our most
respected resource, our people.

106
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:53,990
More than 300 men and women
who understand manufacturing,

107
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:58,295
who understand our industry,
who understand quality.

108
00:04:58,295 --> 00:05:01,890
Many Our-Way managers started
out on the production line,

109
00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:03,950
so they know how to
make decisions that

110
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:06,955
improve efficiency
and productivity.

111
00:05:06,955 --> 00:05:09,860
Our-Way President and
Chief Executive Officer,

112
00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:13,040
Bobby Bailey, is one of
these hands-on managers.

113
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,465
And like other members of

114
00:05:14,465 --> 00:05:16,640
Our-Way's management
and engineering teams,

115
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,760
she spends much of her time
down on the production lines,

116
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,780
helping make sure
the sophisticated,

117
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,960
computerized equipment, and
testing operations continue

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,510
to turn out quality compressors.

119
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:29,670
Our people do more than perform

120
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:32,400
functions, they solve problems.

121
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,620
They'll continue to
provide customers

122
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:37,080
with value beyond manufacturing.

123
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Substantial investments have
been made in inventories so

124
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,040
the customers can
get the compressor

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,010
they need when they need it.

126
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:46,140
Like a transportation
network that

127
00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:48,860
provides direct delivery
to our customers,

128
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:51,320
we provide technical
support to assist

129
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
customers in solving
application problems.

130
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,580
Our-Way regularly sponsors
educational seminars

131
00:05:57,580 --> 00:06:00,080
and plant tours for
wholesaler product training,

132
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,380
and customer service
engineers are assisted

133
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:05,800
with training and compressor
operation and service.

134
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,040
Investing in the future of

135
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,620
the community and the industry,

136
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:11,480
Our-Way is a key source of

137
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,400
hands-on training for
area technical schools.

138
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,300
Air conditioning
and refrigeration

139
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,840
mechanic students learn

140
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,280
firsthand the function and

141
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,220
the causes of failure
of compressors.

142
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:26,200
There's one more example of
the Our-Way success story,

143
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,205
our close working
relationship with Carrier.

144
00:06:29,205 --> 00:06:30,980
In fact, it just might be

145
00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:33,580
the clerest example of
how Our-Way's plant,

146
00:06:33,580 --> 00:06:35,660
processes, and people provide

147
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:38,220
unmatched manufacturing
expertise.

148
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:41,060
As a factory-authorized
remanufacturer,

149
00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:44,400
we have direct access to
design modification data,

150
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,060
and a ready supply
of original parts.

151
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:49,100
Those advantages, coupled with

152
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:51,080
our own manufacturing
techniques,

153
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,040
give us the capability to meet

154
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,010
and often surpass OEM standards.

155
00:06:56,010 --> 00:06:57,810
But we know that ensuring

156
00:06:57,810 --> 00:07:00,710
quality manufacturing
must be a collaboration.

157
00:07:00,710 --> 00:07:03,470
Success depends on
shared commitment.

158
00:07:03,470 --> 00:07:05,510
So the strength of
our relationship with

159
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:09,135
Carrier is critical to the
success of both companies.

160
00:07:09,135 --> 00:07:11,590
Our-Way shares
Carriers commitment

161
00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:13,310
to quality manufacturing.

162
00:07:13,310 --> 00:07:15,310
We've set our standards just as

163
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:18,395
high as those of the
original manufacturer.

164
00:07:18,395 --> 00:07:21,150
Carrier expects our compressors

165
00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:23,710
to meet their own
stringent demands.

166
00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:27,210
That's why every month, they
randomly pull our units off

167
00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:28,830
the production line and grade

168
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:31,400
them against their
own specifications.

169
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,530
Our-Way pace-setting
manufacturing process

170
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:36,650
gives Carrier some
advantages too,

171
00:07:36,650 --> 00:07:40,050
particularly in assuring
OEM quality manufacturing

172
00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:42,595
and immediate delivery
of their products.

173
00:07:42,595 --> 00:07:44,790
To make sure our capabilities

174
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:46,950
mirror those of the
original manufacturer,

175
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:49,230
we've set up a separate
production line,

176
00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:52,120
a line specifically
created for Carrier,

177
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,090
a line that incorporates
every one of the hundreds of

178
00:07:55,090 --> 00:07:57,030
engineering and
design modifications

179
00:07:57,030 --> 00:07:58,970
Carrier makes each year.

180
00:07:58,970 --> 00:08:01,210
That way, we know
our compressors

181
00:08:01,210 --> 00:08:03,650
are designed, built, tested,

182
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:06,670
and delivered with the same
attention to quality and

183
00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:08,690
reliability that Carrier puts

184
00:08:08,690 --> 00:08:10,440
into its original equipment.

185
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,070
Our-Way is proud of

186
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:14,430
our long term relationship
with Carrier,

187
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:15,730
and we're looking forward to

188
00:08:15,730 --> 00:08:19,395
even more shared success
stories in the future.

189
00:08:19,395 --> 00:08:22,690
So that's Our-Way, dedicated

190
00:08:22,690 --> 00:08:24,590
to new levels of performance,

191
00:08:24,590 --> 00:08:28,110
dedicated to surpassing the
manufacturing capabilities

192
00:08:28,110 --> 00:08:30,135
of anyone in our industry.

193
00:08:30,135 --> 00:08:34,210
And that's why Our-Way will
continue to be the source,

194
00:08:34,210 --> 00:08:37,750
the source of quality
manufacturing capabilities,

195
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:39,810
