At FZE, we feature a demonstrated commitment to innovation. However, we don’t just run out and buy every new solution that hits the market. We conduct extensive research into every new piece of equipment we buy to see how it will benefit our customers and impact our operation.
Many manufacturers and machine shops will impulsively “overbuy” equipment that outlives its usefulness within a few years, and they pass those expenses on to the customer. FZE’s advanced equipment is purchased not only for functionality, but for longevity—ensuring that our equipment costs include only equipment that has tangible long-term value for our customers.
FZE researches the latest technology and features in equipment prior to purchase. With the rapid advancement in machine technology the company avoids “overbuying” equipment that will be technologically obsolete in a few short years. In addition, availability of service personnel and replacement parts is considered prior to purchase. FZE avoids purchasing equipment from unproven manufacturers and distributors that may not have the parts or personnel to service the machines when necessary. Machine up-time and match to job specific requirements are the driving factors. The company will occasionally procure newer used equipment and has had some excellent success after a thorough review of the equipment and maintenance records.
