Collins & Jewell Company Newsletter September 2017

EAMA Conference

Collins & Jewell owners Chris Jewell and Brian Dudek, along with C&J Management Gary Smith, Ralph Watson and Charles Biederka, attended the 1st Annual EAMA Conference on August 9th. The evening consisted of networking with other manufacturers and an informative and inspirational talk from guest speaker Simon T. Bailey. The C&J representatives in attendance got a lot out of the event and left feeling enthused with an abundance of new ideas! What a great evening put on by EAMA and sponsored by Eastern Savings Bank!


Nelweld 6000

C&J recently purchased the Nelweld 6000 for the shop. This drawnarc welding machine is capable of shooting studs with diameters from 3/16” through 1” at a rate of up to 50 studs per minute. This industry-leading equipment will allow Collins & Jewell to better serve a wide range of customer needs from commercial structural to shipbuilding.
