Fitzpatrick Mfg. Co. finishes 2019 with an uptick in business going into 2020. While business levels in 2019 were down, we remained profitable. 2019 ended our 5 year streak of year after year sales increases. This slow down has allowed us to make comprehensive system changes to increase efficiency, and we continued to invest in new equipment with the purchase of additional turning capacity. Our biggest battles in 2020 will be very volatile material markets and in some case unstable raw material supplies.
