Founded in 1923 by Claude Knuepfer, DuPage Machine Products (DMP) has thrived for over a century…
Eric Hulen of MTDCNC interviews military veteran Kelvin Verrett of SMOOTH Precision Pens to hear his inspirational story of how he machined a hit product. From a small garage to a beautiful facility in Texas, Kelvin’s journey began with his desire to build. He bought professional hobby machines and created the SMOOTH pen, later reaching a point where he needed to scale production further. Kelvin talks about making life easier for people and his employees, including improved efficiency around his shop and a setup where new employees can start making parts on Swiss lathes from day one. Hear more from Kelvin and how he successfully rebranded from a name that didn’t fit to one that people can’t forget!
