PC Industries and Verification Systems Limited (VSL) unite to provide converters in Europe with utmost customer support

Last year, PC Industries and VSL merged both companies’ resources and technologies. This merger allows PC Industries and VSL to provide an expanded product line to meet the needs of their worldwide customer base.

PC Industries’ and VSL’s history in the industry have allowed them to build great strength in understanding converters’ and printers’ concerns when it comes to quality requirements. Beyond providing reliable and powerful inspection systems, both companies have a clear focus on after-sales support for converters and printers, and place a high value in assuring the satisfaction of their customers well after the sale is done.

PC Industries’ support is now included for VSL products, providing customers with the following services during the life of their inspection system:

• Model upgrades: Get 100% trade-in credit within the first year, and 50% within the second toward the purchase of any upgraded system.
• Warranty: 1 year parts and factory labor on every PC Industries system.
• Satisfaction Assurance Policy: If the system is unable to meet the specifications as quoted during the first 30 days, receive a full refund, less startup and shipping costs.
