More than 150 attendees, including many suppliers and a number of contractors and local residents, saw products such as the Minnich Auto Vibe 111 Monitor and Hydraulic Vibrator and Hornet and Utility Drill Units, and watched videos of the equipment in action on job sites.

Last year MM moved to a new facility in rural Ashland County which offered 1,393m² of additional space with an open floor plan. The firm says this has allowed for work stations to be set up to increase efficiency and productivity.
MM says it has been pleased with the market’s response to the Minnich Hornet Drill.

Launched in December 2011, the Hornet was developed to drill a small hole vertically into pavement to check for underground gas leaks. It was designed by MM in partnership with gas utility companies.
