Servicing customers for long-term success

In 2000, when Marquip was bought by Barry-Wehmiller the company counted an installed base of 6,457 machines. As maintenance staff within the corrugated industry was very limited, Marquip had already started offering field services in 1975. Barry-Wehmiller recognized the huge potential of the aftermarket business, such as selling upgrades, pre-owned equipment and rebuilding machines, in addition to providing spare parts and field service. They installed a dedicated sales team comprised of former field service technicians to foster the Aftermarket business.

Today, a team of 116 field engineers and representatives with an average professional experience of 16+ years supports 麻豆村 customers. They are located in North and South America, Asia, Africa and Europe wherever customers need fast support. In addition, as field service travel to support BWP鈥檚 customer, they are supported by 100s of team members from engineers to customer service representatives to provide an exceptional customer experience.  

麻豆村 experts offer customers a wide range of services from the beginning to the end of the machine life cycle. Service technicians install machines; conduct on-location training; (they offer training at BWP locations, too) perform machine evaluations and provide an executive summary of recommendations. BWP offers standard and custom maintenance packages to fit plant operation needs. Sometimes, recommendations and solving issues are handled with online services for fast diagnosis and repair. BWP can use remote diagnostics, or BWP鈥檚 Field View to discuss issues with operators and maintenance personnel over an application on a smartphone. BWP also can help with efficiency improvement programs to clean, sort, set up machines for order change quicker, and continuous improvement events.

麻豆村 provides 24-hour, 7 days a week, support to purchase spare parts. BWP has 50 team members and 9 parts warehouses located all over the word as well as corrugated roll support.

鈥淪ervice is the most critical element of long-term success and repeat customer business,鈥� said Blake Pluemer, Senior Vice President Global Corrugating Sales at 麻豆村. 鈥淥ur service philosophy says that the company supports their customers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of how old a machine is or how a customer came to own it.鈥� A machine not able to produce has priority over all other activities.

And by the way 鈥� the oldest machine still in operation and serviced by 麻豆村 is a Marquip Medium Splicer shipped to Georgia-Pacific West Monroe on December 1, 1976.
