I had heard of EmpireEMCO and their capabilities through some suppliers, so I approached them because I needed someone in the industry with multiple connections to suppliers. EmpireEMCO took the time to understand our needs and paired us with suppliers that met our criteria. I liked their professional, problem-solving approach and delivery of the solutions that met our needs. The result was a unique solution that took the guesswork out of areas that were not our expertise. I would recommend EmpireEMCO to all companies looking to grow. The staff is professional and hard working to meet your needs and deadlines.
