Glitter. Glamour. Tinseltown. The world’s biggest and most prominent stage. Every spring, people around the globe are witness to the iconic red carpet, breathtaking designer gowns and Oscar, the most recognizable award on the planet. But have you ever wondered about the background of this little statuette, or how it’s actually produced? We did a little research and discovered that just like producing something as renowned as Oscar, the parts we produce at ABACORP are made with the same attention to detail and highest quality for our clients. The very first Academy Awards banquet was held 89 years ago, on May 16, 1929. Since then, over 3,000 Oscars have been presented, with new statuettes cas
One of the things we love most at ABACORP is team, and that often extends beyond our workplace. On February 8, our Men’s basketball team, the ABACORP Titans, kicked off Shepherd Sports’ winter season, facing the formidable Team Rough Riders.

Today is Groundhog Day, which got us thinking. In the film, Groundhog Day, the main character wakes up to the same day over and over. Have you ever felt like that? Go to work, drive the same route, drink the same coffee, eat the same lunch, work at the same station. Clock in, clock out, drive home. Repeat. It is different at ABACORP. We believe in diversity, creativity, and innovation. We are blessed to have an exceptionally talented team of individuals working with us. In some cases, operating a CNC machine can be repetitive. But the diversity of our customer base, materials, equipment, and product we offer gives our team members an opportunity to work on different equipment or products e
