products serviced. For many years KIC has provid-
sent their KIC products to the USA for repair; however, now they can send their profilers and other KIC equipment to Guadalajara, JAL for repair or calibration. The new service office in
Guadalajara results in faster turn- around times and less cost for serv- ice. In addition, the office eliminates the need for customers in Mexico to deal with customs when getting
ed field service personnel that travel to customers’ factories to provide on- site training and customer support. The new service office in Guadala- jara is much more cost-effective and time efficient for product repair and
calibration. Contact: KIC, 16120 W. Bernar-
