OUR CLIENTS SAY
“I would like to thank you and your company for the wonderful prompt efficient service. It is a joy to get my machine up and running so quickly”
Steve
Business Owner
“I have dealt with Hortec for many years, and the customer support has been brilliant, every time I have needed help, you guys have always responded in a timely manner. Without the machine, and the materials handling kit, we could not run the nursery with the labour we have available.”
Tony R
Director
“The new Javo Plus M2.0 has revolutionised how we work. With the double pot dispenser we have increased our production capacity to meet our customer demands. It has freed up staff to do other jobs on the nursery which we hadn’t expected.”
Andrew G
Operations Director
“Steves’ visit allowed us to consider how to best plan and lay out our new conveyors in the dispatch area, to make the most use of the space and to speed up the process. Installation went smoothly and our staff love the new system.”
Derek B
Site Supervisor
“We learned such a lot from Dan’s visit to our machine. Great Service – a top guy”
