"When one of our mills needed a new control system for a lumber trimmer and sorter to immediately replace an older failed system, Progress Engineering was contacted and they came out within days to evaluate and provided us with a very cost effective solution in a very quick turnaround time. The control system and hardware provided has performed flawlessly for us since its inception and has been very reliable. The control logic is well written and control panels are built with high standards. We use them exclusively now for any extra engineering resources needed. I totally enjoyed working with the team at Progress Engineering and would recommend them to any manufacturing facility in need of upgrades or complete new control systems."
