RA Mueller Acknowledged as Leader in Repair and Service Capabilities by Pumps & Systems Magazine

RA Mueller was recently recognized in the October 2001 edition of Pumps & Systems magazine, a national publication, for its excellence in repair service and maintenance capabilities as one of the first IDEX Positive PumpCare™ Certified Service Centers. RA Mueller went above and beyond the call of duty to bring the General Mills Cereal Plant in Sharonville, Ohio back on line, quickly and efficiently, following the sudden storms and severe flooding which swept through southern Ohio in mid-July.

Described as Ohio's "storm of the century", the mid-July storm dropped more than ten inches of rain within a three hour period and left General Mills with 35 pieces of equipment that were suddenly inoperable. The sudden downpour flooded many roads in the area of the Plant, making them virtually impassable. Despite these harrowing conditions and logistical challenges, Mueller's service and repair technicians managed to reach the General Mills site quickly and worked overtime and through the weekend to deliver, install, test and start-up the necessary replacement pumps and blowers.

This disaster and the superb performance exhibited by RA Mueller personnel demonstrated the unique value of the Positive PumpCare™ program under real-life conditions. Clinton Hart, General Mills' Plant Maintenance Manager, found that he could rely on RA Mueller and Positive PumpCare™ to provide the needed equipment quickly and successfully, bringing his plant back on line flawlessly, "no leaks and no surprises".
