ASGCO’s Business Development & Training Manager, Jeff Jurasits explains, "If your equipment is not applied or installed properly, it will not run efficiently. Having trained service crews to maintain and service your conveyor systems is extremely valuable - whether it's your employees and contractors when working on site, to keep conveyor systems continually running longer and producing more. Today's service crews must be up-to-date on all of the latest splicing, installation, service and maintenance technology.”
