Colorado WaterJet is a Colorado Companies to Watch Finalist

Precision manufacturer implements new processes to meet customer needs

Berthoud, CO, April 26, 2013 – Colorado WaterJet (CWJ), the leader in abrasive waterjet shape cutting in Colorado, joins a select group of Colorado companies recognized as a Colorado Companies to Watch finalist. This selection acknowledges the company's hard work, growth and success, represented by its commitment to creating new possibilities for its clients, and the company's contribution to business development in the state.

Colorado Companies to Watch honors second-stage companies that develop valuable products and services, create quality jobs, enrich communities and create new industries throughout Colorado. The year-long program is hosted by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and the Edward Lowe Foundation.

The incredible capabilities of the Colorado WaterJet facility makes them stand out among other machining companies. Machine shops and manufacturing facilities come to Colorado Waterjet because they can dramatically speed up the machining process and reduce costs. As a cold cutting process, waterjet cutting doesn’t harden edges or warp materials, which is valuable to machine shops and manufacturers. However, it’s not only the manufacturing industries that appreciate the precision that Colorado WaterJet can offer. Artists and construction companies also use Colorado WaterJet to help them bring their ideas to fruition. Their latest addition of the Mach 4C WaterJet machine provides 5-axis cutting that now makes them even more versatile.

“We pride ourselves on being able to meet the needs of a variety of customers. We have a unique ability to work with exotic and difficult materials and provide quick turnaround times, which gives us an edge in this industry," states Dan Nibbelink, owner and founder. “We continue to stay up-to-date on new processes, technology, and capabilities to give our customers the best experience.

"Colorado Companies to Watch is pleased to recognize Colorado WaterJet as a 2013 Finalist. Based in Berthoud, Colorado WaterJet is growing its footprint and contribution to Colorado's economy. We look forward to supporting Colorado WaterJet's long-term success in our state," said Sam Bailey, Program Director, Colorado Companies to Watch.
