Machinery ASAP

A question we always ask every customer is – when do you need the machinery?

Or, we’ll ask, when do you need the equipment up and running with your product at your facility?

Sometimes, we hear laughter. Sometimes we hear panic. But, usually, we hear something to the effect of:

  • “I need it now, right away.”
  • “I need the equipment yesterday.”

Or, the very brief and to-the-point answer the sums up when most customers need the equipment:

  • “I need it A.S.A.P.”

Many of our customers are in a race against time.

We like to hear that. Why? Because we’ve uniquely built our business around getting you quality machinery quickly at a discount from new equipment.

With a vast inventory of new and used equipment available for rent, lease or purchase, we can have single machines or entire packaging lines to customers in days – not weeks or months.

We are your pit crew to get you back into production as quickly as possible with equipment you can trust.

In cases of complete packaging lines, we purchase new equipment weekly that is often included within these lines simply for the fact of having these pieces of the puzzle available when our customers need them.

We keep 150,000 square feet in replacement parts for our customers who automatically get 6 months warranty on replacement parts in addition to our satisfaction guarantee.

Our customers can go anywhere online to find equipment and machines – and sometimes cheaper.  But, they come to Frain when the want to get quality, working machinery or complete lines A.S.A.P.

At Frain, we specialize in delivering quality machinery and complete packaging lines A.S.A.P.

The Power of Experience

The story below has been shared popularly across internet and social media, and for good reason. It emphasizes the importance and value of experience. Enjoy reading it and please share!

A ship engine failed, and no one could fix it.
Then they brought in a man with 40 years on the job.
He inspected the engine carefully; top to bottom.
After looking things over, the man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.
He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life.
The engine was fixed!
7 days later the owners got a bill for $10,000.
‘What?!’ the owners said ‘You hardly did anything. Send us an itemized bill.”
The reply simply said:
“Tapping with a hammer: $2 Knowing where to tap: $9,998”
Don’t ever underestimate experience.

In the packaging and processing industry, there are those that aim at a price or discount on equipment and those that understand true total cost of delays and especially inexperience.

Experience comes at a cost, and although most individuals clearly recognize the difference, they simply do not want to pay the difference…at least not in cash.  In the end, an erroneous perception of cost can lead to a higher loss due to an unforeseen delay in an unusable piece of equipment and plenty of fees that go hand in hand.

Frain’s 40+ mechanics and engineers have over 385 years of packaging and processing equipment experience.  This experience, our people, make the difference for our customers. We know precisely when and where to use hammers.
