OUR ADVANTAGE
- 1. Design Expertise - Beyond the standard "off the shelf" solutions, we work with our customers and use our design expertise for a tailored product that will work as required. We use 3D design software and modern engineering tools to complement our experience.
- 2. Solutions - Our clients know what they want. We understand that we are here to provide our "detailed knowledge" and years of collective experience. Our clients can access this detailed knowledge of success, in all formations, and in all conditions. It is their data.
- 3. Commitment - We see every client as a client for life. We maintain our clients’ trust by delivering on our promises.
- 4. Service - We are large enough to offer services from a fully equipped manufacturing facility but we are small enough to provide extensive detailed design expertise. We communicate and verify all drawings directly with our customers. Every customer is important to us.
- 5. Our Pledge - We've built a solid reputation of getting the job done right. At IEM, we pledge over-the-top service and design consultation.
