Reuter Organ Company

The Reuter Organ Company is a business here in lovely Lawrence that may surprise you! It's one of the last four hand built organ companies left in the entire United States! When I say hand built, I mean 100% completely hand built, even down to their custom metal casting that they roll into tubes! From raw lumber and bricks of zinc, ROC fabricates and ideates all of their 100% custom organs from scratch! Experienced wood and metal workers are employed here, along with a small design team. An organ can take from a few months to years to build, depending on the size, and can range from 250,000 to 2,000,000 dollars in price. Truly a unique place with a very special product serving churches, schools, and even private residences!

Paper cup assemblage

Paper cups

Paper cups have a very simple and industrial manufacturing process. Far from the artisanal process with fine porcelains that can be very expensive, paper cups enjoy a simpler life. Created from a paper roll to a rolled paper cup, the process is quick and simple. The paper is shipped in by the roll and is then unrolled, printed on, and cut on one line of assembly. Then the cup cuts is belted to another system that rolls, glues, and installs the bottoms. Then the cups are bagged and labeled and shipped for display in your cheapest local retailers.
