Fastest Parts Turnaround

 

“Quality parts, fast part quotes and delivery, and professional service staff… (Rodem Service) from Jeff Ernst and Greg Goebel is much better (than other vendors). Fastest parts turnaround from order to delivery. We are never down for over a day.

 

The repair tech came down last year for a day of operational training and hands on repair. Everyone learned a lot and the tech kept everyone interested and involved all day. Time and money well spent on an engaging teacher and tech.”

Safe and Professional Installation Team

 

“Mark…. You’re the man! Thank you….. It has been a PRIVILEGE to work with you and the Boy’s on this project. The boys are very talented and hard- working and you are a good leader and mentor.  It was a real pleasure to meet and really get to know the Rodem Team personally as well as professionally. The Team acted in a safe and professional manner throughout the whole project. I know at times, it was difficult to work under certain conditions, but you all showed up on time, (and) did your jobs… The quality of your work and the safe manner in which you did your work was obvious by comparison.

 

Again, I thank you and the entire Rodem team for doing a great job. I hope I get the opportunity to work with you again!”

 

-Bill, GOJO

Quick & Knowledgeable Responses

 

“We were all in the office just now discussing how much of a pleasure you are to work with. I almost wish we used Rodem for all of our parts and supply needs. We can always count on your quick and knowledgeable responses and it’s truly appreciated. I just thought you’d like to know that we appreciate all that you do.”

Outstanding Support

 

“Dan (Mason), thank you very much for your outstanding support. You are definitely going into my “rolodex.” I appreciate the professional manner in which you dealt with our changing and uncertain requirements and came through with solutions to our needs.

Going Above & Beyond

 

“Jon (Pritchard) and John Ryan (Zimmerman),
From all of us at SPX, Delevan, I personally want to thank you for going as Jim Keene states, above and beyond helping us get this part which was desperately needed for a machine that Delevan had to ship out this week. Working with you both on an everyday basis, you always are very professional and willing to meet Nestle’s needs as well as ours and I appreciate that so much.

 

…you should be proud of the fine job these two young men provided us, not only yesterday, but every day. They certainly have the “delight the customer” mentality and I can tell that they care about the customer, the relationships they develop, and most of all the “Rodem” pride. Thanks again Jon and John Ryan.”

Most Prompt & Responsive I’ve ever Worked with

 

“Just wanted you to know that I don’t recall working with any vendor rep that’s as good as Pam.
 
She’s probably the most prompt and responsive I’ve ever worked with and it’s hard to want to go to any other vendor when I’m spoiled.”

 

-Steve, Baxter

Polite, Professional and a Pleasure to Work with

 

“I would like to make you aware of the experience I had while working with the Rodem crew headed by Mark Barnett. Mark was in charge of the crew for the installation of our line 65. As the plant hygienist, my job is to validate the piping, cleaning, and sanitization recipes prior to starting the line. I would like to make you aware that Mark and his crew was very polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with on this project. Mark and his crew took care of everything that needed attention in a swift and expert manner. It allowed for a quick and uneventful installation. I realize people are quick to send the complaining e-mails, but I felt that my experience with Mark and his crew warranted an e-mail to let you know how much I appreciated the hard work and effort that was put into this project by Mark and his men.”

 

-Plant Hygienist, L’Oreal 

Service Technician Offers Exceptional Process Recommendations

 

“Keith did an exceptional job working with our mechanics and recommending processes that will allow us to be more proactive in the maintenance of these valves. We look forward to him returning for a follow up visit in about a year.”

 

-Maintenance Coordinator, General Mills

Rodem Salesman was Critical to Successful Project

 

“The zero trans fat project at New Your Frozen Foods is a success. The success of the project is due to the efforts of many contractors and people who work at NYFF. The most critical person to the success of this project was Greg Watkins.
 
The project was presented for approval one week after a successful zero trans fat product trial. Greg and I worked intensely that week. I would not have been able to present the project on time without the late night emails from Greg. The project had to be presented when it was in order to install the system by the deadline for Trans fat labeling. I realize others supported Greg at Rodem. Mark Barnett was great as project manager of the installation, and Joe Arlinghouse developed a good design. However, Greg took responsibility of getting me the information I needed for the project presentation.
 
Before that week, there was over a year of preparation that Greg did with us in getting to the successful product trial.
 
Greg helped me through many contractor meetings to prepare for the plant shutdowns and systems installation after the project was approved. The contractors and I always went to Greg for the information we needed to make the support system work.

 

I enjoyed working with Greg and am looking forward to doing other projects with Rodem, because I can rely on Greg to get the job done.”

Rodem Staff Perseveres to Problem Solve


“I am writing to thank you for your support on our recent Jelly Cooler project in our Lawrenceburg facility. We have completed two consecutive runs with outstanding results. It is performing as we had hoped when we conceived the project. I know that it was a painful episode for Rodem as well as Algood Food Company. It is surprising how often when a problem occurs with a project that suddenly my phone calls don’t get answered. I never worry about that with Rodem. Your staff rolls up their sleeves and goes to work to come up with a solution. That is why you are our preferred provider of companies…”
