𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: “Hey take a look at this! We don’t need to bring an extra set of clothes to work to change into before we can get back into our cars! I’ve been coating all day and this is all the powder I have on me!” 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝗚𝗲𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻: “I could tell right where you turned it on, right to the rack. The parts have a smoother appearance and the corners have complete coverage.” We hear these stories time and time again from customers about Polifluid Optimization. Polifluid, patented by EUROSIDER SAS, filters standard compressed shop air to leave only Nitrogen. Polifluid super chills the humidity-free Nitrogen to create a constant temperature throughout the entire powder system to produce better first-pass transfer efficiency and provide a more consistent film build on parts.

From being an ambassador at our student welding competition, training employees and building complex parts for our customers, the pride and precision Hannah brings to work every day is inspiring. “I’ve been welding professionally since I was 18, and out of all the jobs I’ve had, DeGeest is the first place where I truly feel like my opinion matters. They actually care about their people.” “It’s a big enough company to work on exciting projects with a wide range of clientele, but still small enough that you’re more than just a number.” Our employees drive our projects, sharing their feedback and perspectives to find ways to improve and build our industry forward. They set the Stronger Standard for each other and our customers. And, are powered by a common goal of working together as a team. Thank you Hannah for sharing your talents with us!

Our business has proudly called South Dakota home for almost fifty years. While DeGeest and LestaUSA Self-Learning Painting & Finishing Robots serve customers across North America and the world, working and operating here is what creates our Stronger Standard. This was reinforced last week when our President, Derek DeGeest, and Director of Marketing, Alicia DeGeest, were invited by the South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development to the Governor’s State of the State address. From hearing the Governor’s “Top 10” list and visiting with legislators and other community members, it’s clear that South Dakota is a great place to live and work and has visionary leadership guiding us. We’re proud to call South Dakota home and will continue to be a part of our state’s future success by advocating that Freedom Works Here so that we can secure new business through strategic partnerships and attract more skilled trades back to our state.

If you’re considering changes to your manufacturing business this year, here are key areas to focus on: - 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: DeGeest knows that automation done right isn’t just about adding robots to a production line - it’s about developing a strategic approach that prepares your company for this new technology adoption. Moving to automation without first addressing the issue of relying on the tribal knowledge of those key people to overcome the variables will prevent your investments from delivering their expected returns. - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀: Most solutions focus on creating repeatable programs, but there are so many variables in the finishing process that aren’t being controlled. Pulling from our lived experience, DeGeest is helping to educate the market on this. Rather than generating painting programs, we’re working to address all the variables and create solutions to make a scalable process. - 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲: Today’s workforce seeks employers who have integrated solutions, technology and automation. They want to know that there’s a future in the work that they’re doing. As soon as they can see the career potential, then the rest of the world of finishing is there for them to be able to better grow into. Solutions exist to make these changes. From job shop work to turn-key solutions with our LestaUSA Self-Learning Painting & Finishing Robots, our lived experience offers proven wisdom to create a Stronger Standard for your company.
