Who can introduce you
Nina Alvarez is the introduction to Dan Whitaker.
Evidence
- Customs, incoming gear
U.S. customs lists 38 shipments to the plant this year. The latest, 18,400 kg of press brake tooling and a fiber laser, arrived in two 40-foot containers.
Machines are still arriving. The new floor is being set up right now.
- Building permit
The county closed out the permit for a 62,000-square-foot production building beside the existing plant and issued the certificate of occupancy.
The building is finished, so production is about to move in.
- Building loan
Approved Sep 3, 2025 and first funded Aug 11, 2026. A 25-year loan for the new building: $8,940,000.
This disbursement opens the window. It starts here, not at the approval.
- Trade press
A regional business journal covered the expansion: a paint booth, overhead cranes and a second weld line, adding 45 jobs.
Names the new line that scheduling and quality records will have to cover.
