Success Story

Reviving a Legacy Part for Dero Industries Without Missing a Beat 

In 2024, Dero Industries came to us with an urgent request: they needed a part we had machined for them back in 2005 (when LaFlesche operated under a different name.) Unfortunately, they had lost all the original drawings and documentation. The client was concerned about the time and cost of reverse engineering the worn part. Their production was on a critical timeline, and delays weren’t an option.

Our response? “Don’t worry—we’ve got it.”

Thanks to our meticulous record-keeping, we still had the original design files, CNC programs, quality procedures, and production notes stored in both physical and digital archives. We quickly coordinated with our internal team and adjusted our production schedule to create a machining window, without delaying work for our other clients. The result: a fast turnaround, a flawless part, and a very satisfied customer.

At LaFlesche, we take pride in going the extra mile because when our clients are under pressure, we treat their priorities like our own.
