As a former business owner, I understand the challenges our customers face and the importance of making informed decisions about technology investments. My goal is to help our clients take full advantage of the technological and financial benefits that Mac-Tech’s solutions offer. Specializing in lasers, tube lasers, and press brakes, I bring a relationship-driven, consultative approach to my work, always with a focus on finding the right technology solutions for our customers.
One of the key aspects of my role is ensuring that our customers are satisfied long after the sale is complete. For instance, when the BISTRONIC Renaissance program sold refurbished lasers with inferior parts, leading to significant downtime, we at Mac-Tech identified the affected equipment and reached out to the companies involved. By upgrading their equipment, we were able to save them both time and money, demonstrating the value of our ongoing support.
