"I was already dealing with Flender, and found through direct experience that they provide a quality, reliable product".
"I did try several other gear units over the years but always came back to Flender".
"You have to believe in the product to be able to successfully sell it to others, and the reliability of a gearbox is crucial to a production line".
Garbett also cites the excellent quality control procedures at Flender as an influencing factor on the end product, and is delighted that production of the popular Motox geared motors from Bradford has recently been increased, ensuring shorter lead times and faster delivery to customers.
