"In 2011 we at FGP requested that LIMA bench mark test all our machine tools to verify they are still performing to the high standards FGP and our customers require."

"LIMA delivered a professional service, setting a bench mark for us at FGP to maintain with our machine tools. The tests were not disruptive to production and gave us good data feedback and understanding of the data to help improve production."
