W
hat our customers are saying...

"After the completion of a project, I received a call from the head office of the Global Manufacturing Company complementing Hartness on the professional and dedicated manner in which the project was designed, manufactured and executed.

He made mention that although Hartness Automation was not the least expensive tender for the project he was very pleased with the outcome and felt some disappointment that he was unaware of the group’s full capabilities prior to releasing other projects to other integrators.

He went on to say that Hartness would be high on his list of preferred integrators for future projects and has since approach Hartness Automation seeking assistance in formulating a solution at another plant."
