Dear User,
You are now the proud owner of a new, state of the art GENIUS Optical Sorter and
we at BESTnv would like to congratulate you on your latest purchase. We are
convinced the GENIUS will constitute a serious contribution to improving the final
quality of your products and increasing your competitive position on the international
market.
We, the people at BESTnv, feel that selling a sorter is not simply the happy end of a
story, we consider it as the beginning of a long relationship between our two
companies, based on trust and professionalism. Even after the contracts have been
signed, our sales team will remain fully at your disposal. Please do not hesitate to
contact us in case you have any further questions or remarks.
We strongly believe that the professional and trustworthy relationship between our
two companies, gradually built up by our sales people during the negotiations, will be
adopted by our after-sales team and our service engineers. Their customer-oriented
problem-solving attitude reflects the philosophy that can be found everywhere at
BESTnv and constitutes the central core of our strategy: “A real professional
treatment does not end when the customer has signed the contract, this is merely a
starting point.”
We hereby wish you and your company a very successful future and are proud that
we have been able to contribute our share.
