​​Earlbeck Customer Story – Bill Herbert, Owner of Quality Erectors

​Bill Herbert owns Quality Erectors and was working to grow his fabrication and erection company but was struggling to keep his labor force trained and his machines consistently running.   Bill was frequently sending machines out of state to be repaired, causing down time.  Bill was also not up to speed on the latest welding technology and training.   Bill was experiencing poor service and support from his gas supplier, and was wasting time reconciling invoices and overpaying for gas tanks.  He was working long hours but not getting the results he needed. 
 
Bill knew he had to improve efficiency, training and technology to get the results he was looking for.  I met Bill and asked him how Earlbeck could help him.   Bill wanted to do an audit on his gas tanks as well build a better plan to service his equipment and train his welders to improve their productivity.  He was also looking for technology that could give him an edge vs the competition.   Earlbeck Gases worked with Bill to identify ways to streamline his gas supply while improving service, reducing cost and saving time.  Bill and his account manager put a plan together to leverage Earlbeck to train his welders as well as service his equipment on site.   Earlbeck helped Bill find a better solution for their welding process including switching to gas shield flux core wire.   Bill needed more flexibility on job sites, and  identified a solution with Accupocket battery powered portable welders, which he now has on all of his trucks. 
 
Bill implemented these solutions and transformed his business.    His team is happier now that they have great training and the equipment they need to do their jobs at a high level.   His bottom line has improved, including reduced expenses on equipment repairs and gas supply.  Bill now has a knowledgeable partner he can rely on to give him the right solutions for his business and help him solve his most difficult problems.   Quality Erector’s partnership with Earlbeck has given Bill time back to focus on leading and growing his business.
