Since its beginning in 1985, Hi-Tech Packaging has grown to be one of the leading providers of packaging products and services in the Northeast. Hi-Tech specializes in the design and manufacture of custom foam, wood, and cardboard packaging products for customers throughout the Northeast, including greater New York and Connecticut. As part of Hi-Tech’s production strategy, they have adopted SmartFoam automated equipment such as the Smart Cutter, Smart Press and the Smart Hotplate. These machines give Hi-Tech Packaging an advantage in improving efficiency, quality, and consistency. These changes have led to a reduction in lead times, increased productivity, and reduced labor dollars. To learn more about Hi-Tech’s services in your area, visit www.hitechpackaging.com. When Hi-Tech received an error notice at the control level, they reached out and we immediately tried to resolve the issue with a video chat to get our customer back in operation quickly. When this didn’t immediately solve the problem, two of our in-house technicians planned for an on-site visit. Within two days, the technicians arrived, made necessary repairs, and had Hi-Tech back in production. Hi-Tech management team of Mike Rappa and Rob Sims were pleased with SFM’s quick response time, thorough troubleshooting, and follow-through.
