Why Customers Love Working With Comco

Nate Panko

Northern Area Grain Manager - Aurora Cooperatives

“I was very nervous going into the process of changing operating systems. I was worried that the new system wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Going through the process with Comco was very smooth. They tailored the program and graphics exactly how I wanted them. We ended up with an operating system that gave us so much more capability than we had in the past. We are happy with the end result.”

Dan Delforge

Manager

“Comco provided us with a turnkey controls system for our oat processing facility. During the design phase, we worked directly with Comco engineers to share how we wanted to operate each process. Comco was also on-site to support system installation and startup. This was our first facility to receive automation and the presence of Comco during each phase from design to startup really helped, especially startup for our employees. From the employee perspective, they have an easy to use interface to control the entire facility. Thanks to the system Comco implemented, our employees can focus on production and quality while the controls continuously monitor equipment performance.”

Nathan Pappas

President - Mid-South Milling

“Comco designed and installed a custom control system for both Mid-South Milling’s Feed Mills: located in Kansas City and Memphis. Both mills are complex operations with extensive integration needs. Comco provided custom programming to facilitate the data integration and created the required imports & exports to support it. We are happy with our control systems, with the teams that came to install the software and the excellent customer service we now receive.”
