From the supplier: Schroll Cabinets Inc. is celebrating its 25th year of operation in 1998. In the span of its history, the company has distinguished itself not only by its success but also by its forward-thinking approach to manufacturing. Two key operational changes attest to this claim. First, is its incorporation of outsourcing in its manufacturing philosophy, 20 years before the industry showed signs of increased reliance on buying components. Its movement towards computerization and barcode management 15 years before its contemporaries also highlight the company\’s anticipatory skills.
