Sensational Customer Service
Hi Chuck,
I just wanted you to know that from a customer standpoint, everyone we have worked with has been sensational. From your receptionist and telephone operator, to Ivan, Shawn, Bret, and Greg. We lost our plant manager a couple of weeks ago, which gave us a setback. So, recently, I have had more contact with your people than I have in the past. I just wanted you to know how great it is to be working with them and with you. We appreciate all that you do. Thanks.

Great Work on the Canada Regional Seminar
Hello Robert,
Thank you for the feed-back and additional info you just sent.
I said it in person, but I’d like to repeat it in writing that my colleagues and I appreciated a lot the seminar: practical, alert, good explanations, a lot of information ... in short, great work ! By looking at the evaluation summary, I’m glad to see that all the participants feel the same and that everybody enjoyed this activity.
A special thanks for Ovidiu and his team for hosting the event and for the guided tour of the shop.
Best regards,

Roll-Kraft Mill Alignment Extends Tooling Life
Unless there is an unforeseen incident that requires us to take the mill down, we are not looking at doing tooling until 2014. We have switched coolants and greases and have no trouble disassembling the mill after extended run intervals. Wear looks good on all of the rollers (mostly thanks to your alignments).

Roll-Kraft: Second to None in the Industry
Dave,
I want you and the entire group at Roll-Kraft to know that I am very pleased with the quality of service your company provided with our two new tooling packages.
Working with you on the two new sections you built for us went much better than I anticipated from past experience with your competitors. The extra time you took to walk my tooling guys through the entire development phase of both jobs with detailed explanation of how each pass should perform and what adjustments should be made to obtain the highest quality of part possible was second to none in my experience in this industry.
The commitment and sense of urgency you displayed to work with us on meeting our deadlines and satisfying our customer orders from tool build through development and final approval was tremendous and greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your service and I look forward to doing business with you for years to come.
Sincerely,
Wesley Utt

Roll-Kraft Provides Huge Payback Without Risk of Mistakes
It had come to me through the grape vine that we were quoting some Roll-Kraft tooling through our Mexico facility. At my previous employer we had used Roll-Kraft exclusively. We never had an issue and never needed to go anywhere else. We had a long standing relationship with Roll-Kraft and you had bailed us out on more than one occasion to keep our mills up and going.
In addition to all new tooling coming from Roll-Kraft, you also did all of our regrinds and repair work. We did the polishing in house. The tooling always came back on time and in perfect shape. On a few of the newer parts we had tried designs unsure if they would give us the expected result. Roll-Kraft was always willing to work with us on these R&D type projects and was always very fair.
If anyone has any questions about Roll-Kraft and the service/quality they provide and would like to hear about them from a previous customer, please let me know. They may have not been the lowest cost, but the service they provided for us was a huge payback with no risk of mistakes.

Lightning Fast Response Time
Shawn,
We received the soft roll yesterday. We're back up and running. Please express my gratitude to all involved. It is refreshing to see a company that still has the capability and desire to support industry with lightning-fast response time.
I will respond within the next few days with all of the information necessary to quote a new set of rolls.
Thanks again,

Outstanding Roll Forming Operator and Gearbox Training
I just wanted to say that the operator training and the gearbox training went very well. Frank and Matt were outstanding and did a superb job planning and laying out the training sessions. Our crew came out of the training with a far better understanding of the operation and setup of the roll formers and the know how to properly diagnose/rebuild the gearboxes.
Thank you for the time and effort that was put into this training. We greatly appreciate it.

Tooling Ran Flawlessly and Looking Forward to Our Next Order
Shawn,
I just want to take a minute to express my delight on receiving our new 1.250 breakdown rolls.
Not only was price and delivery competitive and, as promised, on-time, but my greatest delight was in opening the crate (a work of art in itself) to find exactly what I ordered. The tooling fit on my mill and ran flawlessly.
This may not seem so big of a thing, after all, that’s what roll tooling companies do, isn’t it? Well I am not going to rag on every other vendor, however, I will say this is the first order in a long time I received without one problem.
Shawn, please pass on to all the personnel in your shop that you have a very happy customer, and I am looking forward to our next order.
Thanks again,
Frank Suhy

Roll-Kraft is an Elite Engineering and Tooling Manufacturing Company
I really appreciate all the hard work and diligence that everyone from Roll-Kraft has put forth this year in a continued effort to ensure the success of American Roll Form. I always feel privileged being associated with one of the elite engineering and tooling manufacturing companies. Roll-Kraft provides greater opportunities for ARF and enables us to expand into many marketplaces that require more than the “standard custom roll form supplier”. It was great working with each of you this year and I look forward to next year.

Roll-Kraft Meets Our Schedule
Thank you Roll-Kraft for helping us in our times of need. Sometimes our schedule dictates us to jump back on a product line sooner than we normally would. I know I can count on their wonderful staff to help get us the tooling we need, when we need it. They adjust to meet our needs and ensure we are prepared for whatever issues may arise. This has become the Roll-Kraft way and they never let us down. Their staff does its best to make our job much easier. Thank you.
