Loyal
Matco received a special compliment from a new customer from Bangkok. The first machine was barely delivered when the second order was immediately placed, stating: “We didn’t look any further and a quote is not necessary”. Therefore, Matco is proud of the high loyalty of the staff. Staff turnover is low and 40 years of service at Matco is not an exception.
