Alaska Countertops

Blake Anderson and his brother are taking over the reins of the family business in Anchorage, Alaska and making improvements to their fabrication shop that will make life easier. Alaska Countertops started out as a solid surface shop in 1996, but has grown their stone division to account for about 80 percent of the business today.

TITAN® 3700

Saving Time & Labor

Alaska Countertops added a TITAN® 3700 CNC Router in 2022 and Blake has been impressed with just how much their productivity has increased because of one machine. He explains the significant impact the TITAN® has had on their labor savings, “Four fabricators working by hand for a full day will produce the same amount as what our TITAN® will produce in a few hours. The TITAN® speeds production up – it eats up everything we feed it.”  

The TITAN® has provided Alaska Countertops incredible time & labor savings while delivering finished, high-quality edges. 

FASTBACK® II 

Nothing Compares

The FASTBACK® II Edge Polisher has been a massive upgrade for specifically flat-edge polishing at Alaska Countertops. Polishing backsplash used to an unfavorable, time-consuming job that no one wanted, but with the FASTBACK II that’s all changed for the better. Blake is amazed at the volume they are pumping out with the FASTBACK® II and the quality of polish it produces.  

He shares, “This thing just prints money. The FASTBACK® II runs material through at 65-70 inches per minute to a perfect polish. You cannot get anywhere near that hand polishing. I’ve never seen a better polish in my life.” 

HydroClear™ PRO 95 

The Choice is Clear

Blake had a inefficient, high-maintenance water system prior to the HydroClear™ Pro 95. When comparing the two, he shares the differences they’ve found, “The HydroClear™ Pro 95 has our water running incredibly clear. It looks like drinking water after going through this system! The water from our prior water treatment system looked like mud in comparison.” The water is much clearer and they are able to run at a high production pace with a shop full of five machines. Blake and his employees find the HydroClear™ Pro 95 simple to operate as well and the maintenance to be next to none. 

Results

Makes Life Easier

Blake reflects on how far they have come, “From hand fabrication to running a fully-automated shop today, we have quadrupled our productivity with less people touching the material. It is crazy how much we can pump out and get into peoples’ homes.”  

Blake had a great experience visiting Park Industries® for training on the machines and thought the trainers made learning easy. He now enjoys the simplicity of programming everything versus hand dropping sinks and hand polishing.  

Blake shares, “I wish we would’ve done it five years ago. It’s just crazy how much easier it makes life,” and continues, “From start to finish, working with Park has been a smooth process. Park has great people and machines that bring your shop to the next level.”
