South-Tek partnered with Morey, an electronics design and manufacturing company to help Morey unlock significant savings and secure production independence through smarter nitrogen management. Morey achieved significant cost savings – a $20,000 monthly margin – after transitioning from delivered gas to on-premises nitrogen generation.
Morey provides design, manufacturing and integration services for the commercial vehicle space, with operations heavily dependent on a stable, high-purity nitrogen supply. Nitrogen is critical for soldering and pre-test storage of manufactured components.
Before partnering, Morey relied on bulk nitrogen delivery. This arrangement came with high costs, a risk of supply cutoffs and inflexible contracts.
South-Tek mobilized a multi-disciplinary team to design and install a complete nitrogen gas generation solution tailored to Morey’s exact needs. The project included two nitrogen generators delivering 99.999% N2, supported by an integrated system of an air compressor, a refrigerated compressed air dryer, filtration, storage tanks and control and performance monitoring tools.
“This decision wasn’t just about reducing cost; it was about strengthening our operational resilience. Bringing nitrogen generation in-house gives us greater control, long-term cost visibility and a more reliable production environment,” said Ryne DeBoer, CEO and President, Morey.
Having a reliable nitrogen supply is as essential as electricity in maintaining uninterrupted operations, and on-premises nitrogen generation delivers both cost savings and long-term dependability. By reducing reliance on third-party vendors, companies can minimize legal and operational risks while gaining greater control over their processes.
