International 2010 LoneStar Truck visits local manufacturer

 


On Tuesday, May 26, 2009, the employees of Wurm’s Woodworking Co. had the opportunity to experience their HARD WORK and direct EFFORT as showcased by their parts installed in this 2010 International LoneStar truck.  This vehicle was supplied with the generosity of Norwalk Truck Sales and Service.  The majority of the parts fabricated at Wurm’s Woodworking in New Washington are incorporated into the sleeper cab of the vehicle.  In this particular truck, the Company is supplying several thermoformed plastic door and closeout panels. 

Over the past year, Wurm’s Woodworking has worked closely with International and a tier 1 interior trim supplier.  This International Truck contract went thru various stages of design prior to developing production tooling which consists of aluminum cast molds, trim fixtures for the automated CNC process and check fixtures required to meet the quality standards of these parts.  The Company is grateful for the extraordinary support of its employees in servicing this contract.

Wurm’s Woodworking has supplied original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the heavy truck industry since the early 1960s when founders, John and Millie Wurm, would make deliveries using the trunk of the family car.  In addition to feeding parts to International, the company also supplies parts for Volvo, Mack and Peterbilt trucks.  Established in 1947, the Company is a precision fabricator of cut-to-size component products from engineered, composite and plywood panels as well as high pressure laminates and polymer sheet materials.  The Company also utilizes foil membrane press technology creating 3D profiles normally requiring separate edge molding treatment.  The Company’s origins in plastic began in 1980s when many of its current wood based customers began to switch or also utilize plastic components.  Its plastics division vacuum forms(thermoforms) plastic and vinyl products for various industries, including seating, recreational transport and point of purchase / retail display markets.  Information about the Company and its products is available on the internet at www.wurmsproducts.com
