I took a tour of RMS in Anoka/Ramsey and they said they bought about 30% of Citizens total yearly sales. The guy giving the tour was the head of one of the swiss departments. They also had some german machine that had some crazy amount of axis'. They too made all differnt types of medical parts and some aircraft electrical connector. I thought it was insane to see all that stuff, and it really made me want to pursue that career more.
And I don't think I'd ever buy a Kennedy, althought to be a "sweet" machinist you're supposed to own a shit brown box.
Thanks!
