"They didn't speculate on the fact that I needed equipment. Instead of selling me everything I listed, they listened to me and understood the problem. They created a completely new architecture. They took care of the integration 100%, taking into account the work of the factory. In case of a problem, they respond immediately. ...and they are cool at the table. Our owner used to say: 'whoever you can sit at the table with, you can also work with.' "
