Exemplary Service -JB, Oklahoma

"In business it’s sometimes easy to point out what’s not right, and to take good service for granted. So, I wanted to take a moment to let you know what exemplary service one of your Engineers is giving [us]. He spent considerable time on the phone helping us understand Medora’s scope of supply, conveying what we needed to do to prepare for Medora’s delivery, and also discussing options for installation. He followed up our call with clear, concise drawings and written instructions. His efforts are appreciated. Thank you and best regards..."

Carbon Savings –RC, Colorado

Removed A Scum Layer –S, Arkansas
