Steve Grant AFAMI CPM

Ulf is a highly motivated individual who listens, acts and delivers on what he says he can. He's helped my company with great pricing, outstanding service and timely delivery - when it was mission critical and all other suppliers were taking forever to get get back with quotes. His quick turnaround times provided me with real value and will certainly use his services again.
