    Several Saporito Finishing employees were on hand September 18th in Chicago’s Loop for the unveiling of the World’s Largest Film camera at an event kicking off Dennis Manarchy’s project, Butterflies and Buffalo.

    Saporito Finishing was approached by one of its customers, Tek Pak, to lend their finishing expertise to a one-of-a-kind project of truly epic proportions. We proudly stepped up to the challenge providing over 60 years of finishing expertise to the project. Saporito, among others, helped bring the concept to fruition culminating in the unveiling Wednesday night at 2 North Riverside Plaza in Chicago’s Loop. The unveiling featured some of the subjects of the project but the centerpiece was the World’s Largest Film Camera. Saporito Finishing provided Gold anodizing and Electroless Nickel on multiple parts of this one of a kind camera.

    The camera will be on display here in Chicago’s Loop until October 31st after which, it will embark on a planned 20,000 mile journey documenting 50 different cultures across the United States. The camera will capture these cultures on one of a kind 6 foot negatives producing photographs up to 24 feet tall with detail that surpasses even the most advanced digital cameras of today.

    The project is set to begin in the Midwest capturing the Ho Chunk Tribe of Wisconsin, Eelpout Fishermen of Northern Minnesota, Indiana’s Amish, Holocaust Survivors, and Chicago Bluesmen. After this the project will embark on a tour of the USA capturing cultures from coast to coast.

  9. Schroeder Named Internal Sales Manager

    Comments Off on Schroeder Named Internal Sales Manager

    Robert “Bob” Schroeder was named Internal sales manager for Saporito Finishing Company in Cicero Illinois. His duties will be to oversee the day to day operations of the quotation department.

    Bob has shown a tremendous drive in learning all aspects of the quotation department and the plating and anodizing business, seeking out knowledge to better himself, the quote department, and the company. He takes charge of a great team with a focus on customer service and continuous improvement.

    The quote department is critical to the success of the company for many reasons. During economic downturns, their efforts help drive sustainability and lessen the impact of customer slowdowns brought about by lighter demand, outsourcing of work to foreign countries, loss of business to other domestic companies, or obsolescence of parts. The quote department is also a vital engine for growth during good times, fueled by accurate quotes turned around in a timely fashion. Quick turnarounds lead to increases in business for our customers and ultimately increases in our business while the accuracy of the quote makes for the start of smooth and hassle free processing of parts from Order Entry through invoicing.

    We are sure Bob will excel in meeting this challenge and confident we will see continuous improvement thrive in our Quote Department.
