Steve Postma, our president, received the following email on Customer Service from Jim Gilbert of Dorr-Oliver Eimco USA Inc. Thank you for the kind words, Jim!
"I believe the service starts from the top of the company and when I needed help years ago you were there to help. I just wanted to let you know about the service I have been getting from Don (Gamble - Outside Sales) on some particularly troublesome jobs. The main one is in South America. In all instances Don has been very helpful and responsive to our needs. I also really appreciate the service that Bennie (Nugter - Field Service) provided for us. Your services are the reason that I make sure the orders are through you to receive this kind of service on the front end of the orders and also when we do have problems. The excellent assistance we have received from your company is greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to continue doing business with your company."
