Green Alternative Systems designs, engineers, and installs alternative fuel systems. Before we really got involved with Swagelok custom solutions, we were really just taking parts and using our own labor to create these assemblies.
So we took their design and made them in advance. That allowed them to take what was 16 hours’ worth of time to upfit one of their vehicles and cut it down to four hours, which translated into $224,000 in labor savings in the first year that we did it.
They provided the service to build the assemblies and a way to scale that up without adding labor time or personnel to our facility, while also increasing our repeatability and the quality of the overall system.
When we first started, we were going back and forth between Swagelok and a couple of competitors, and Swagelok just had the quality that everybody was compared to. I think our management team started realizing that and said, “Why are we not using Swagelok exclusively?” It sort of evolved from there.
