This year, OPIE Manufacturing Group celebrated the festive season with a little extra creativity—our very own Christmas video! Telling the whimsical story of Santa commissioning our talented team to fabricate a custom Christmas tree, the video is an example  of the craftsmanship and ingenuity that defines OPIE, sprinkled with plenty of holiday cheer and acting talent galore!.

The Story Behind the Story

The concept was simple yet heartwarming: Santa needed something unique for Christmas, and who better to deliver precision and perfection than OPIE Manufacturing Group? The video showcases our team transforming raw materials into a stunning miniature Christmas tree, all within our state-of-the-art facilities.

But it wasn’t just about the tree. This project allowed us to spotlight the skills and processes that make OPIE shine, from laser cutting and powder coating to hand assembly. Every step reflects the passion and precision our team brings to every project—not just for Santa, but for all our customers.

A Star Team On and Off the Camera

While we’re experts at metal fabrication, acting is a whole different ballgame. Yet, our team rose to the challenge with enthusiasm and humor. From delivering lines to wielding tools with flair, everyone played their part, proving that OPIE’s talent extends beyond the workshop.

Behind the scenes, there was no shortage of laughs, retakes, and moments where holiday magic met workplace camaraderie. It was a reminder that at the heart of OPIE are the people who make everything possible.

Who Deserves the First “OPIE” Award?

Every great story needs its stars, and this video had plenty of them. But who should take home the first “OPIE” for Best Performance in a Social Media Video? Whether it’s the worker with the perfect comedic timing or the unsung hero behind the camera, the team effort shone through.

• Was it Tristan’s natural charm?

• Kane’s Oscar-worthy “blue steel”.

• Or maybe the tree itself stole the show?

More Than Just a Video

At its core, this video is a celebration of what makes OPIE Manufacturing Group special. The Christmas tree is more than a decoration—it’s a symbol of our craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the pride we take in our work. And just like the tree, our customers remain at the top of everything we do.

Thank You to Our Customers

As the year wraps up, we want to thank you—our customers. You’re the reason we strive for excellence, and we’re proud to have your trust and partnership. We hope this video brings a smile to your face and serves as a reminder of the quality and care we pour into every project.
