******************************************************
We are very pleased with the training we have received over the years. We have reduced the number of parts we were using and increased run time by properly maintaining our machines. Our technicians are more confident and competent when troubleshooting and maintaining our equipment. Your team has helped us by providing the level of training we need and building relationships. We appreciate the level of training and support we are receiving from Handtmann. We hope to continue this year after year.
