"Proficient Sourcing came to Napoleon Machine with a Gantry Mill project that was a perfect fit for our capabilities. Together we secured the business through teamwork, negotiation, and relationship building. This one project has evolved into years of production work and profitability. Since the onset of the initial project in 2019, additional opportunities developed. Thanks to Charlie, and this one project Napoleon Machine has evolved into a premier manufacturer of machine bases for the CNC Machine Building Industry."
