New Michigan Technical Center for YCM Alliance

Visitors to YCM Alliance Michigan Technical Center Grand Opening challenged application experts with their unique requirements, compared different technologies, ran test cuts, conducted time analysis and witnessed firsthand the level of precision and quality that is achievable.

YCM Technology Centers are designed as a production environment but also feature meeting rooms to discuss processes, business considerations and YCM’s own finance options. There is even a cafeteria so visitors and customers can be as productive as possible during a visit.

“YCM Alliance’s Grand Opening was a great experience with an excellent setup and display. The experience of their sales force is second to none. We are excited to continue working with YCM as we grow our business,” Steve Michon, President, Zero Tolerance.
