I would like the thank the Consumers Team for helping us achieve better ways to manage out inventories, streamline the order process and reduce unnecessary time and effort over multiple areas of our organization. Consumers took the time to learn our procedures and processes and developed the best plants to uniquely handle our needs, with the added benefits of competitive pricing and reliable delivery. From office supplies, janitorial, shipping, plant operations, safety and maintenance, their products and system help keep Ambel's costs in control in an ever increasingly competitive market. Our team has gone further and applied Consumers' principles to other vendors in our supply base with similar results.

"Joining Consumers Interstate Corporation's (CIC) Priority Program has been of tremendous benefit to our company. Recommendations made by CIC have enabled us to simplify the purchasing process for many of the items we buy on a regular basis. Web-based ordering enables our employees to have control over the items they are responsible for purchasing and also allows management the ability to oversee orders, as well as have easy access to usage and spend information. We have eliminated the unnecessary repetition of effort often associated with buying supplies. In addition, monthly summary billing has resulted in a reduction of paperwork and processing for our accounting department. We have been able to streamline what once was a very burdensome process. Yet another advantage is that the program development is customized to fit our company, and it has been an ongoing process as our representative works interactively with our employees to find new opportunities, and recommends new and improved products. In today's business environment, finding tools or services that help simplify and improve the purchasing process are extremely valuable and I would highly recommend the services provided by Consumers Interstate Corporation."

Consumers took the time and effort to really understand our business and the needs of our various departments. The process to add the GL codes (including budgets if needed) was easy to set-up and change. The process to order supplies became much easier and faster, and the process in accounting to approve the summary invoice was a huge time savings as well. Our business relationship with Consumers continues to grow as they have developed in to an excellent vendor/partner for our company.

Thank you for the exemplary service you provide us in New Haven. Your dedication to making the art of manufacturing as easy as possible by your wide selection of items, your ease of ordering and invoicing and your technical knowledge that continues to look for better solutions for our company, has made our business significantly more efficient.
Two key things come to mind. First the selection of products you can and do provide us, along with the ease of ordering, is important as we try to reduce our supplier base. Items from packaging supplies, including equipment, to facility and office products and manufacturing MRO components, allows for Radiall to choose Consumers as a one-stop shopping alternative.
The second item is your dedication to finding alternate solutions to our manufacturing and plant issues. Your attentiveness to helping us identify our actual needs and providing options is first rate.

Kenn Fischburg, President of Consumers Interstate Corporation, was my original salesman. The thing I like most about Consumers is they know I am the customer and always treat me fairly and right. That is why we have done business with them for over 20 years. Kenn has made me (the customer) his top priority, and in turn, I have made his company my go-to distributor.

"We have gained several strategic advantages from allowing Consumers to managed our MRO supply; a more streamlined procurement process that has saved time and improved efficiency for my MRO Buyer, cost savings for providing equally effective substitute products, weekly inventory assessment and automatic replenishment ordering, and a strong rapport with the manufacturing lead persons who use the products. My account representative is an invaluable resource, always optimizing opportunities to improve upon an already improved process as well as continuing to create a win-win situation for both customer and supplier."
