Our Core Values
Our company core values are inherited directly from owner Frank Oetlinger. Frank approaches his entire personal and professional life with a great sense of integrity, ingenuity, deep social responsibility, and a relentless drive for quality and precision in everything he does – all while maintaining a reasonable sense of humor! The AngleLock product line is simply the latest testament to these values.
Our Back Story
The idea behind AngleLock came from the folded carton industry where owner Frank Oetlinger started a business called Blanking Systems. Many of the high-speed presses punch pre-printed sheets of carton blanks at a rate of four sheets per second. Immediately following the cutting process is a blanking tool separates the box from the leftover cardboard. Prior to 1995, companies were forced to routinely shut down their lines to maintain the blanking tools – tightening loose parts and replacing broken components. This was until Frank came up with the initial idea for what is now AngleLock, where parts and components do not come loose with vibration and the structure is sturdy and reliable.
Our Facilities
AngleLock and Controlled Dynamics currently have 18 dedicated, high-speed CNC machining centers outfitted with high-density, custom fixtures that allow our operators to quickly and efficiently manufacture multiple parts at once. Also, automatic production saws are employed to accurately cut extruded parts, custom-length profiles, and panels of varying materials.
