ASHLAND, OH (Feb. 9, 2022) — Tahoma Engineered Solutions, a leading manufacturer of precision machined parts and wire formed products, recently restructured their hours of operation, which significantly increased their production capacity.

Originally, the company operated traditional first and third 8-hour shifts on a five-day work week and added a day shift option on Saturday when needed.
