Customer service is at the heart of the company which is why they see their customers throughout the whole process, from buying to installing and aftercare.
We asked Mike Alibone of SSI Schaefer what the company’s plans for the future are, in which he responded, “Our customer base is as diverse as our product portfolio, which enables us already to offer solutions to almost all areas of industry.
As an organisation in the UK, we will continue to grow – particularly as we complete more installations which become reliant upon our providing an ongoing support and maintenance service.”
