Therefore, a significant but highly competitive opportunity exists to contract convert for third party manufacturers.

Hiring a plant manager, shift supervisors, an additional mechanic along with material handlers will also be necessary. The added employees will increase current payroll from approximately $23,000/mo to $75,000/mo.
