' i VsV A :,k '.mIrM: i tA. fc' Horses, roaming on the Campus, have become a real nuisance to residents and employees lately. Uncontrolled livestock is in violation of Tribal Ordinance 33. WSCP making great strides in unique industry Warm Springs Composite Prod ucts became the tribe's newest busi ness on May 17 when tribal voters approved a referendum creating the company. The referendum also ap proved $1.4 million for working capital, and gave the company au thority to borrow up to $600,000 from available sources for additional working capital. Prior to the refer endum, a $1 million Economic De velopment Administration grant had been approved for the purchase of equipment. On August 23, the company learned they were awarded a patent to the Tectonite formulation and the manufacturing process. "This give our process strong protection against infringement by others," said Terry Turner WSCP general manager. Noting progress made since the referendum, Turner said that all equipment had been purchased by mid-October. Turner said the plan will be fully operational in the first quarter of 1995. Turner also said sales have recently averaged around $ 100,000. And, sales are expected to continue at that pace for the balance of the year. "When our equipment is in place, we should, conservatively, increase our production and sales four-fold," he said. The workforce iscomprisedof27 people, 20 of whom are tribal mem bers or are married into the tribe. "We have a highly motivated group of people who understand our mis sion," Turner said. "We've really developed into a team. The credit goes to the people on the floor who are producing excellent products under fairly adverse conditions." Talking with employee, enthusi asm runs high. Melvin Tewee, Sr., a 7 would recommend working here to any man or woman who likes to keep busy all daylong." Sterling Kalama, leadman at WSCP leadperson in charge of door cores, says, "Since I came here, there has been tremendous change. Everything was done by hand, now, we are be coming high-tech." Tewee went on to say that with high-tech comes higher production. Sterling Kalama said he would recommend working at WSCP to any man or woman. "You keep busy all day long," Kalama says. "When we have a rush order, everyone helps. This is one of the better jobs I've had." The finished goods leadman goes on to say that the company trains everyone in every area. "That way we have good production. We have quality and quantity," he says. Jim Mchlberg, an MIT from the Black Hills of South Dakota, says WSCP sometimes encounters a problem that is nice to have. Mchlberg says WSCP has "high potential...sometimes we can't keep up with the orders." Interest in the diatomaceous earth product has been universal. Turner commented, "We have made inroads in the United Kingdom and our doors are currently being tested for certifi cation in Japan." Tony Stacona, manufacturing su perintendent, mentioned that active clients purchasing door cores include Weyerhaeuser of Marshfield, Wis- "We are getting repeat business and that is crucial in the sale of any product.'' Terry Turner, WSCP General Manager consin, Buell Door of Dallas, Texas, Vancouver Door of Puyallup, Wash ington, Sauder Industries of Rich mond, British Columbia and Western Oregon Door of Dillard, Oregon. On the refractory products side of the operation, Reynolds Metal Company has been a regular customer. Stacona said, "We've been talking with a company called Mohawk from South Bend, Indiana. They are the largest producer of fire doors in the world." Turner says WSCP is right where they want to be in terms of sales and development. "We are getting repeat business and that is crucial in the sale of any product." Turner added that WSCP has a good chance at a $200,000 grant from the Oregon Economic Development Department. Turner said the grant covers three areas: material handling, product testing and certification and market ing and sales programs. Although people in Warm Springs might not fully understand the ex citement felt by others concerning WSCP, Warnock Hersey (Inchcape Testing Services) of Pittsburgh, Califomia.offershigh praise. "WSCP has developed the best fire door sys tem we have ever tested." Turner adds, "According to Warnock Hersey, we have achieved, since January 1, 1994, nearly as broad a range of certification as Weyerhaeuser and Georgia Pacific have achieved in 15 years. We have never failed a test." Turner mentioned that the joint venture between Structural Technol ogy and the Confederated Tribes has not been idle. "We have been talking with a couple of companies who are interested in becoming licensees of the joint venture." BNZ of Massa chusetts is one of the companies, and another is a company the joint ven ture held discussion with in the past. "Christy Company of California had some internal problems in the past, but those have been taken care of and we are now talking again," Turner said. Optimism at WSCP continues to run high as new equipment arrives and new orders are placed. Projected sales for 1995 are nearly $4 million with a projected profit of over $500,000. Twenty more employees will be added next year as the plant begins expanding their production through the high-tech machinery now on order. And, as Sterling Kalama says, "I would recommend working here to any man or woman who likes to keep busy all day long." More information about WSCP can be obtained by calling the plant at 553-1143.
