Customer Testimonials
“We talked to every gearbox manufacturer in the states and overseas, and every one of them would come in and talk ‘Price! Price! Price!’ like that’s the most important thing in the world. STOBER comes in and says, ‘Let’s understand exactly what you are doing and how we can help.”
– Carey Smith, Retired President
“We’ve used STOBER for years to rebuild equipment such as lathes and milling machines for machine tool customers. Every job is project-based and requirements are always different, but STOBER is the perfect match for our gearbox requirements. Its SMS series allows us to choose from a large range of ratios, mounting configurations, housing options, and more.”
– Steve Nelson, Senior Applications Engineer
“STOBER continues to exceed expectations of a typical gearbox manufacturer. Along with world class quality, their service level makes them a great partner to work with. Feedback from end-users fuels innovation at MP and STOBER is always willing to offer their support and collaborate with us to design better products.”
– Alan Bowling, Territory Sales Manager
“I’d never hesitate to recommend STOBER products. Working in the food processing machinery business, I’ve never dealt with another partner that is as reliable as STOBER. Whether it’s the product durability, fast delivery, or product warranty, STOBER’s superiority is evident and appreciated.”
– Dave Vance, Sales Manager Red Meat Division
“We are about to mount the motors on this prototype that we were asked to design, build and demonstrate in 4weeks. The STOBER K402 gearboxes are in place and ready to go. Thank you to STOBER for quickly responding to my multiple quote requests for different options and for the quick delivery of these units. On this tight timeframe and in the current world supply chain situation, I think STOBER is the only manufacturer that I could count on to get us the high-quality units that we needed for this project.”
– Matt Bailie, Senior Mechanical Engineer
“For more than 20 years, Quantum Technical has relied on STOBER to provide gearboxes that are efficient, run cool and last for years in harsh washdown environments. When a customer was looking to run faster than the machine was designed for, STOBER recommended the new servo geared motor. It was a drop in replacement for the STOBER/3rd party motor combination, required no assembly from motor to gearbox and worked with the existing Rockwell drive and delivered higher speed and more torque. We are now using this geared motor on all future versions of this machine.”
– John Miller, Service Manager
“We were operating on a tight timeline and knew we had a real problem when we opened the gearbox packaging and realized we had ordered the wrong ones. Everyone at STOBER genuinely wanted to solve the problem and support us. They brought in an overtime crew, and we had replacement gearboxes in 2 days – a day faster than we believed possible. Unlike some other companies we work with, they were focused on solving our problem and not just following some predetermined process that would have delayed getting what we needed out the door.”
– Robert Reiser, President
“Working with STOBER has been nothing but excellent. From customer service to product availability, STOBER should be a model for a company’s operation. Their team of engineers is very knowledgeable of STOBER products and is willing to help in any way they can. It has been a pleasure working with STOBER, and we look forward to continuing our partnership.”
– Eric Allen, Director of Procurement
“During my 25-year career as an engineer supporting multiple industries, I haven’t encountered many suppliers that consistently provide the level of product quality, expertise, and customer service that comes from STOBER. At Lubing USA, we’ve used STOBER’s gear reduction solutions on our egg conveyor product lines for many years now with nearly no issues or failures. When the rare problem does arise and support is needed to keep the end-user up and running, STOBER’s response time is unmatched—even if it’s after 5 p.m. on a Friday. Working with STOBER gives me the confidence that we have a true partner in the trenches with us. Keep up the excellent job!”
