Custom job shop Xtek, Inc., has earned a reputation for excellence in the steel and mining industries. The company pioneered the tool steel process, which became the leading solution for hardness and wear-resistance problems in heavy-duty power transmission and industrial component applications. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Xtek's main products include large gears, gear couplings, steel wheels for cranes, steel rolls for steel mills, and other heat-treated components. Almost all jobs are custom "one-offs," which makes scheduling a daily challenge— especially considering the facility often has 3,500 jobs in the shop at any one time.
