We are usually very tight lipped about the inner workings of our shop but think sharing a little info might be kind of fun!

So, here's a quick recap of some of the exciting new things that have been happening at Busse Knife Group.

[ ] We have hired on a number of additional employees including a new VMC Commander to run that portion of the shop.

[ ] This week we take delivery on 2 brand spankin' new 2021 Hass VF4 SS machining centers with all of the bells and whistles!!!

[ ] We have total rebuilds on 12 of our existing FADAL VMCs!

[ ] We've added a new CNC programming office to the shop floor and invested in all new CAD/CAM software. We now have 4 different CAD/CAM software options to choose from.

[ ] We are setting up 16 new additional grinding stations with all new grinders!

[ ] 2 new Fibre Optic lasers are installed and running!

[ ] Advanced 3D printing technology for help in modeling prototypes.

[ ] Added 2 new deburring tumblers.

[ ] Added a huge, new Spinner Blaster for decarb removal.

[ ] Remodeled the employee break room and added two additional restrooms.

[ ] Just finished our new War Room for our design team to hunker down in!

[ ] We just added two really nice optical comparators ( A Nikon and a Mitutoyo) to our inspection lab!

[ ] Just added 3 more heat treat furnaces along with new tempering ovens for added throughput.

[ ] We have added some of the most advanced vacuum stabilizing equipment for natural handle materials to the Crab Shack.

[ ] Most importantly, we have restocked the bar and have added 2 more BBQ Grills for "Meat Coma" day that happens once a week!

We've been busy!!!!

All of these updates and additions are designed to enhance our production protocol.

Time to make some knives!!!!

Let's Drink!

So …. This means all your prices just increased to cover all that capital investment? 🙄
Awesome news and glad you’re continuing to grow.

Wow !!!!! Sounds like some spectacular happenings !!! So what’s your favorite addition so far ???? Grinder , machines , furnace , etc ???? I know the bar and grill are at the top lol but other than those.

Thank you for sharing :) :)

Any chance a Battle Grade Boss Street getting put through the new equipment ?????? :)
 
This explains what I may, or may not, have seen on some country backroad in rural Ohio. I saw what appeared to be massive pieces of alien technology wrapped in tarps. Not, but many of them lined up.
I thought they could possibly be small nuclear reactors to cook the grease out of the bacon.
Now we know!

But you forgot one Jerry, got a brand new paved road - but you really needed it. That road was so bad but hey, the amount of weight carried up and down there in carboard knife boxes alone must be staggering! LOL!
 
When can we expect the Theme Park & Shopping Mall? From humble beginnings to all this I applaud your Vision and Success Great Job Boss Man:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
