Martin Marietta is a leading supplier of aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and other building materials. They have facilities in 28 states, Canada and the Bahamas.
On Christmas Eve 2022, Cory Mason, the Procurement Manager at the company’s Woodville, Ohio location, called on Binkelman’s emergency services team.
“We needed 3VX750 belts to run some required equipment,” wrote Mason. “Then, on Christmas Day, we needed a belt for one of the conveyors that feed fuel to two kilns.”
Binkelman Account Manager Dave Vanliere got involved right away. “Dave made the trip to Vandalia, Ohio to pick up the belts. Then, he opened the Binkelman shop, had his guys slit a belt to length and delivered it to us on Christmas day. Dave played a key role in both situations. He was our go-to guy. His efforts to ensure that our needs were met were top notch!”
Help from a Dedicated Team
Our team’s quick action saved Martin Marietta a lot of money. “It prevented unplanned downtime, which could have resulted in missed shipments and reduced production. That would have cost us thousands of dollars,” wrote Mason. “We rely on Binkelman’s emergency service several times per year, typically for belts, belting, bearings and conveyor items.”
Mason added, “Binkelman truly understands the importance of supporting a 365/24/7 operation like ours. To answer the call and perform on the Christmas holiday exemplifies their commitment to customer service. We appreciate the relationship we have with Binkelman and that we can count on them when it matters most.”
