What Our Clients Share About Us:

Charles E

Zwack, Inc

I actually just wanted to pass along some feedback of how much a fan I am of your products. I am a young engineer that was first exposed to your products while in college (RPI-Troy, NY). I have a number of friends who use your products in quite the variety of devices.

Brad D

Signature Brands LLC

I was thrilled with the technical support we received. Patrick Hawthorne not only knew exactly what we needed to do, he was professional in his communications. I do not work with servos every day and he was able to walk me through it quickly. Kudos to your team.

Chris P

General Lift

I had a very wonderful customer service experience. Donna McCarthy was very helpful and responded to my emails very quickly. She went above and beyond to assist me with my order. [I'll] definitely do business with you again if I ever need to in the future.

Fred R

Good product, excellent service and vendor response, product meets requirements and is easy to integrate, customer does not complain about the price, and I make a profit. Win, win, win.

Gene C

Advance Storage Products

The product we are currently using exceeds the high demands that we have placed on it. We are very satisfied with the product an we will be using the drives long into the future.

Dane K

MIT

[The AZB60A8] preformed phenomenially, even with some interesting riders, smashing between forward and reverse and bouncing all around. Not only did it survive the electrical loading, the shock-and-vibe from this application is enormous! Give one of their drives a whirl, they are fantastic. Thanks again A-M-C!
