" I would like to thank you for the fine technical support McLeod & Dewey have provided to Nabisco for the past thirteen years.
The performance of our pallet wrappers is critical to our overall operation. Your scheduled preventive maintenance program four times a year has afforded us increased reliability on these machines, fewer emergency calls and less down time, even as the equipment gets older. And when they break down, McLeod & Dewey's response time has been extremely helpful.
Over the years you have provided us with machine upgrades and retrofits as technology improves. The level of technical expertise that you continuously provide is second to none.

" Our annual national service contract with McLeod & Dewey Associates for our stretch wrap equipment is nearing renewal time once again. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support you have provided us over these many years. It has been nearly fifteen years that McLeod & Dewey has taken care of our stretch wrap equipment installations, retrofits and service. The retrofit film carriages that you supplied have also worked out very well.
With the number of stretch wrap systems that Nabisco operates throughout the U.S. it is difficult to find dependable technical support that can provide the high level of service that we require. No one group (including the wrapper manufacturer) has been able to provide us with the level of expertise and service that we have continually received from McLeod & Dewey. "

Your technical service group always operates in a professional and extremely knowledgeable manner which continuously assures us of maximum wrapping efficiency.
So I would like to thank your organization for the consistent quality and expertise your technical service and customer service groups have provided to Nestlé. Best wishes to all the employees of McLeod & Dewey for the future. "

Minimizing the cost/load while ensuring proper containment starts with the establishment of benchmarks for every pallet wrapping machine in your organization. The benchmarks must be measurable, repeatable and monitored on a regular basis.
For over 30 years, McLeod & Dewey has been assisting it’s customers in establishing the ideal machine settings for their unique pallet wrapping application. Once these settings are agreed upon, McLeod & Dewey technicians conduct periodic site audits to ensure the benchmarks are in place and a proper match between the machine and film.
Our audits include measuring force to load on the common failure points of a sample load, weighing the amount of film per load, timing the wrapping process and documenting the existing settings on each machine. At the end of the audit, we will provide a written report on our findings, with recommendations for improvement.
For the most unique, high dollar or high volume applications, McLeod & Dewey offers a professional load assessment at our state of the art test lab. Our technicians simulate the most extreme conditions your load will ever face. Whether it is fast stops, sharp turns or the constant pounding of a cross-country run, our lab partners have the equipment to test these conditions.
Once the testing is complete on your wrapped load, we will re-wrap the load according to our standards and film recommendation. You will receive a report that compares both loads according to each test condition and cost/load.
