It took a while for Lewistown’s Spika Welding and Manufacturing http://www.spikawelding.com/ to find its product niche, said the company’s founder and owner, Tom Spika.

Now that they have, the aviation maintenance platforms the company manufactures are being sold in several markets overseas.

"Our sales continue to go up and we have the largest staff we’ve ever had," said Spika, who has 36 to 40 employees. "We have two shifts, both on overtime to keep up with sales. And part of that is due to foreign sales."
