******************************************************
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.
