"Mediocrity is bliss.  It is not very hard to live up to one's second best; one can do it with arms folded and both feet on the table.  To be loyal to a great reputation is a harder task. It means equaling each day the highest standard one has set for oneself in the past; that is, making one's utmost one's usual. For an individual, concerned only with the single thread of his or her life, such an achievement is difficult enough.  For a company which turns out thousands or tens of thousands of parts each year -- each one a testament to that company's reputation -- it involves both a jealous vigilance over quality and a never-ending search for ways of raising it.  Without such vigilance and such a search, the hardest-won reputation would not last long.  Second best looks after itself; but a great reputation is made again each and every day through each and every part shipped.   We at Plasma-Tec understand this and doggedly do what it takes to keep our reputation for quality, value and service."
