Number Nine
Nine years ago today, I formed C.P. Eakes Company. We were lucky to start the company in a boom economy and luckier to survive the down economy of the last four to five years.
As a manufacturing company in the triad, we are part of a dying breed, but we make custom metal items in relatively short time frames. Perhaps that has insulated us a small bit against foreign competitors.
Hopefully, we will be around to celebrate a decade one year from now.
