Many consumers also use the products in their own garages to move cars, trucks, boat trailers and small aircraft into tight or hard-to-navigate spaces. The team includes skilled welders and fabricators who consistently produce a high level of craftsmanship in their work. As our business grows, Zendex Tool will be looking for workers capable of programming and operating CNC machines, robotic welders and fiber laser cutters. Additional skilled welders will also be required. A family-owned and operated small business, Zendex Tool offers paid holidays, vacation, a 401(k) and profit sharing plan and flexible OT hours.

Its average employee tenure is over 10 years; some employees have been with the company for over 25 years. ISO 9000 by 2020 is a key objective of the company, which means heavy investment in upgraded air filtration, retiring old inefficient machinery, and a 2019 solar power installation for a reduced carbon footprint.
