A Guided Tour of Unadilla Laminated Products (Part 2)

This week, we focus on the sales and design aspects of our operations.

Taking Customers from Concepts to Completion

Estimating
When you call into Una-Lam with a pricing request, one of our knowledgeable estimators will take your information and price the job. Once you have accepted our quote, the job either goes directly to our manufacturing facility or it goes to our engineering and drafting department, depending on the complexity.

Engineering/Drafting
Una-Lam employs two licensed professional engineers and two drafters who have expertise in wood products design. If your project requires engineering analysis or shop drawings, this department will do the design work and send it to you for approval before it goes into production.

Template
After the design is finished and approved, shop drawings are sent to our Sidney plant where they are turned into full-scale mock-ups in our template loft. These templates accompany your project through the plant and are used in the glue room to set our gluing forms and in the finishing department to make final cuts and attach hardware in the right places. This photo shows how we made the templates for the Groton Street Bridge trusses.
