Our foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures in North America, Germany, Switzerland, Northern Europe, China, Japan, India and Vietnam, provide crucial support to our internal Sales Team and Runoff and Service Department, ensuring that our customers receive first-class support throughout the entire lifespan of their equipment.
Sales engineers in key markets maintain daily communication with our sales managers and project engineers in Italy, ensuring seamless coordination and efficient project management.
Our foreign application engineers work closely with our Italian personnel. They travel to Italy to prepare the machines for the runoff and execute the equipment acceptance process. After the machines are shipped, they oversee the installation and conduct duplicate runoffs at the customer's site.
They also provide comprehensive customer training in multiple languages, including German, Swedish, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, or Hindi. Our team continues to support customers during the warranty period, providing ongoing service and machine maintenance.
All our engineers and partners are extensively trained to assist customers with various needs, including machining cycles, part programs, and tooling integration for new parts.
In markets where we don't have a physical presence, we rely on local agents to provide support and assistance. Even during the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic, we successfully installed and serviced our machines through the dedicated efforts of our local engineers.
