Testimonials
"I had heard of Empire EMCO and their capabilities through some suppliers, so I approached them because I needed someone in the industry with multiple connections to suppliers. EmpireEMCO took the time to understand our needs and paired us with suppliers that met our criteria. I liked their professional, problem-solving approach and delivery of the solutions that met our needs. The result was a unique solution that took the guesswork out of areas that were not our expertise. I would recommend EmpireEMCO to all companies looking to grow. The staff is professional and hard working to meet your needs and deadlines."
Glenn Munford, VP Operations
NC Brands
"I approached EmpireEMCO because I needed to consolidate the number of suppliers we used and have ease of inventory management. The Empire Team researched options that would meet our needs then took the time to present the various options to us. They worked with us through various options, ultimately finding the best one that suited our needs while saving us money. I enjoyed working with the Empire Team. One thing I liked was their friendly, smart, timely approach and delivery of the solutions that met our needs. I know that if I have a request, it will be handled in a timely manner and options I may not have thought of will be presented. The experienced staff at EmpireEMCO really knows what they are doing. I would recommend EmpireEMCO to anyone that wants a team that works well together and works to make your life easier."
Michele Vorwerk, Director of Purchasing

"EmpireEMCO developed a personal relationship with us right from the start. In these days of internet bids and email business, EmpireEMCO has a sales team that makes sales calls feel personable. The staff at Empire developed the drawings, built a mold set, and eventually began production with their dedicated manufacturer within much shorter lead times. EmpireEMCO personally sent a team to watch the production run at our plant, to guide us if there were any problems. The experience as a whole was professional, where all the key players of the staff were involved in the project as it progressed, providing important information from start to finish. The staff at EmpireEMCO kept in touch regularly, was very personable and overall had great service."
