"Can Man Manufacturing Facility"

Since "Can Man" has become so popular, I know most of you would like a tour of the manufacturing facility
 Well here it is in all it's glory.  It is snuggled deep in the pines of the Tennessee Valley and easily identified by the largest deck in the South East.
 
This is where they are made and welcomed into the world.
 
It all begins with several different sizes of tin cans and a funnel.  From here they move to the paint shop
 
The paint shop is located on the big deck where lots of space is necessary
 
This is the paint pallet we use to set up the cans we are to paint.  We can actually paint up to 13 cans at a time.
 
We keep several of the more popular colors on hand but Home Depot is 5 minutes away for emergency request of colors we don't have in stock.
 
   It takes lots of nuts, screws, hammers, ice picks and other tools to manufacture a  "Can Man"
 
It also requires high tech tools that require a lot of expertise to use properly
 


Here you see one of the workers in the assembly process.  Takes years of experience to do this particular process.  Since "Can Man" has a five year warranty, you have to make sure it is put together right before it leaves the facility
 
G-Mer can actually asssemble a "Can Man" in less than 6 hours if all the parts are painted and cut to specifications
 
This one is almost finished

Welcome to the world "Can Man".  This one will be delivered tomorrow to the winner of a contest we held for our customers.
 
I hope you enjoyed the tour as we are really proud of our facility and the "Can Man's" we bring to life.

  1. Do you offer public tours of your production facility? If so, I hope you have some snacks at the end of the tour. That is always a nice touch. Maybe you could serve the contents of your cans....coffee, pineapple, sardines, cream of chicken soup. Just a thought!

  2. I bet can man's feet are stinky since they were born from sardine cans. I'll have to put this on my bucket list of places to see.
