SafeRack is extremely customer-focused. Pat Early was extremely responsive and made sure that I was satisfied with the proposal. He knew the product line extremely well and could answer, on the fly, any question about what he represents. Lastly, he presented to the MWV employees information about the platform. This went very well and I got buy-in on new equipment. And it delivered surprisingly quickly. I was told that it would be a January 2011 delivery and I would miss out on the 2010 closing. However, the new platform was delivered the last week of December 2010. SafeRack is extremely customer-focused. This is refreshing.
