Recognizing a Trusted Supply Chain Partner in Metal Fabrication: Ted Harrison’s Legacy at Butler Bros
Ted’s Commitment to Collaboration, Innovation, and Hands-On Support Set a New Standard for Supplier Partnerships
At 110 Metalworks, we understand that precision metal fabrication requires more than cutting-edge machines and skilled operators. Success depends on reliable supply chain partnerships—the kind that brings long-term value, technical expertise, and reliable support to the table.
That’s why we’re taking a moment to recognize someone who has exemplified these qualities for years: Ted Harrison, Account Manager at Butler Brothers. Ted is retiring this May after more than 40 years of service to the industrial supply and metalworking industries in Central New York and Pennsylvania.
More Than a Vendor—A True Supply Chain Partner
In today’s manufacturing world, competition isn’t just between companies—it’s between supply chains. At 110 Metalworks, we expect more than just parts and prices from our suppliers. We seek partners who contribute to our ability to deliver high-quality, fabricated components efficiently, consistently, and cost-effectively.
Ted Harrison did just that.
Ted became an extension of our team. He wasn’t just someone we called when we needed a part—he was genuinely invested in how we worked and how we could improve our processes.
He spent time educating our engineers and operators, sharing insights on tooling options and manufacturing best practices. He rolled up his sleeves and got involved, helping fine-tune workflows and reduce waste with hands-on support.
One of his most impactful contributions? Helping us implement a tooling inventory system that delivered measurable improvements:
- Faster, more efficient operations
- Smarter inventory management
- Improved tool tracking
- Time savings and cost control across the board
Ted brought real value to our precision fabrication processes, enabling us to serve industries like aerospace, defense, medical, and electronics with greater confidence and consistency.
A Legacy Built on Reliability and Respect
When we think about Ted, one thing stands out: he’s the kind of person you look forward to working with. Reliable. Honest. Committed.
Yes, Ted was our account manager. But he went far beyond sales. Ted helped troubleshoot tooling setups, guided product evaluations and even took time to train new team members. He didn’t just represent a supplier—he showed up like a teammate. That’s what made him stand out.
His retirement message reflects the same humility and professionalism we’ve come to know and respect:
“It has been an incredible journey. I have learned so much from our wonderful and talented customers and manufacturers’ representatives. I move on to the next journey, bringing with me great memories and friendships. I wish everyone continued success and happiness in what each of you work at every day—be it design, program, machine, form, shape, punch, grind, deburr, paint, assemble, package, and ship.”
On behalf of the entire team at 110 Metalworks, thank you, Ted, for your years of dedication to helping manufacturers thrive.
Your support helped us improve performance, reduce waste, and streamline production, all while maintaining a focus on the people behind the process. We wish you the very best in this next chapter. You’ve left a lasting impact on our team and our shop floor.
