Lockwood manufacturer, Crown Parts & Machine Inc. sells mining equipment globally

The Spanish Empire used the phrase in the 16th century. Three centuries later, the British used it. Now Paul Hatzell, owner, president and chief executive of Crown Parts & Machine Inc. http://www.crownpartsandmachine.com/ , rightfully claims that "the sun really never sets" on his Lockwood manufacturing company.

"One of the first things I do when I get here is to call Chile or Peru, then back out to the eastern United States," Hatzell said. "China I do later in the day because they’re sleeping while we’re working."

Crown Parts, started by Hatzell in 30 years ago, manufactures and re-machines more than 5,000 parts for heavy mining equipment such as haul trucks, huge shovels and support equipment. The company makes what are called aftermarket parts, less expensive than brand names, but with the same specifications, Hatzell said.
