It’s been four years since we acquired The Gateway Magazine from the late, great Bill Bryson and his wife, Sharon. At the time we had some idea of what lay ahead in the working confines of the manufacturing industry, but we had no idea what we were truly in for. A global pandemic met us less than a year later which through the entire industry (and world) into a state of uncertainty. We’ve navigated closures and supply chain issues head on and worked collaboratively to help figure out new ways of engaging our greater manufacturing network here in the northeast. It was a curious time, but we’ve come to learn so much.
Over the last four years we’ve met nearly all of our advertisers and beyond. We’ve shared (and told) many stories together and we’re grateful to everyone that has humored us in fielding all of the questions we’ve asked along the way. Our mission is to place each and every one of your businesses in the spotlight in order for all the readers of The Gateway to learn more about what you do and the capabilities you have at your disposal to help your customers accomplish their unique goals.
With that said, if you’ve got a story to share, let’s discuss it and build out that dialogue within the pages of the magazine. This is your resource and the resource of your current and future customers. Together we’re stronger.
This month’s issue features an interview with Brian Beland of KV Tooling who have expanded their operation and moved into a new facility up in Maine. KV Tooling was one of the first companies that invited us into their facility when we started with The Gateway and we’re so happy for their continued growth.
We’ve also got Paul Critchley back with his quarterly LEAN manufacturing column. His insights are always extremely interesting to us and we hope you learn a little something from his area of expertise as well. This month he unveils a new venture he’s embarked on and we wish him all the best!
Thank you all so much for being a part of these last four years and for all of the years to come. If you’ve got something to share, share it with The Gateway. We appreciate you!
