wem clients success stories

In 1979, we put our first WEM system in and have purchased 10 since then. The systems have been very reliable and easy to use. I like the maintenance mode because it helps me diagnose a problem and is nice to use for elevator maintenance. Everybody you deal with is easy to get along with. WEM has very experienced staff and our start-ups always go well. Our efficiency has increased since the WEM 4000 is controlling our plant. The complete process could not have been more perfect.

Doug Goodling

Wenger's Feed Mill, Inc.
We are on our third generation of WEM Automation controls, spanning a period of several decades. WEM has always provided user friendly, advanced technology in their control systems. Most important to us is the level of support we have received over the years. They are easy to get in touch with and quick to respond. WEM supplies us with very qualified technical support via phone and on-line assistance. They help us resolve our plant issues and get us back into production with minimal downtime.

Narragansett Improvement Company
NuWest Milling has been a WEM user since the opening of their Hughson, CA facility in the year 2000. WEM and NuWest worked together during the construction phase to ensure that our operating system would be best suited to meet the specific needs of our company. They worked very hard to design and implement the custom features we requested when looking at different companies during the interview process.

I have worked with WEM for 25 years going way back to the ABM days. They have excellent people and great service. Working with WEM all these years has been like having a security blanket.

Noel Wright

Aggregate Industries, Inc.
I used another system for nine years and never liked it. It was always a pain to get it to meet state specifications. The difference between WEM and the other company is night and day. The mix is amazingly accurate all the time. The system is very easy to use. WEM service is the best to work with.

Rich Wujcik

Gallagher Asphalt Corporation
Our installation of a WEM batching module has greatly changed the stability of our production process. The system is user friendly and basically downtime free. The installation was quick, painless, and without incident. The overall dependability of this product has been the best part of our WEM experience and we look forward to the purchase of our next module.
