Zero Tolerance, LLC is a growing plastic injection mold machine shop, now located in Clinton Township, Michigan. They have invested in the highest performance machinery and tooling along with a staff that is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the best quality of customer service.
As a kid, he created the first hands-free light switch by designing a system (contraption) to turn the light on in the morning when his alarm went off using a dancing flower, string, tape, and 8 AA batteries. Since then, his love for problem-solving, research, learning, and perfection evolved into a company that firmly believes that if you aim small, you will miss small.
Throughout this show, we will be discussing what Zero Tolerance is all about, their move to a new facility, goals for the future, social media, Automation Alley, 3D printing, 3D metal printing, and so much more!
