Success Story: Farmers’ Grain & Feed

Why Service Matters

Repete is a leading provider of advanced controls with a special emphasis on animal feed production. We have the pleasure of coming into contact with feed mill owners and operators each year. Therefore, we are able to gain insight as to what is happening or important in the animal food manufacturing business. One thing that comes up often is the importance of service. We are told by most feed mill managers that service is the top thing considered when looking to buy an automation system. It is true because the effectiveness of a mill is directly impacted by the ability to keep a mill up and running year after year.
