Fastcap

Fastcap is a small manufacturing company located just north of Bellingham, Washington.

While the company itself develops and sells tools to support the woodworking industry, its real claim to Lean fame is that it is used as a vehicle for its founder, Paul Akers, to test and promote his Lean thinking.

Many of the products in Fastcap’s lineup are based on Lean principles and tools.

Paul is an avid author and video producer. Owning a company gives him a unique opportunity to enhance the quality of his works.
