For Style Line, the best expansion was the one they didn't make. Style Line Cabinet & Top Co. in Lockport, Ill., was planning a 50,000-square-foot expansion just before Sept. 11, 2001. They never followed through, and they're glad they didn't.rnThat's when Mike Rutz explains that the company started moving toward new machinery. The resultingrnefficiency gains allowed them to get rid of the inventory of mouldings they had to keep. "Since we didn't have to carry all of that inventory, we gained extra space," he says. "We used to have many carts of mouldings, now we only have the material that will run," he says. "We don't have stacks of profiles, only the wood needed for a particular job."
