Customer Quotes

If you try to do it yourself, it is a sustained 10-12 years if you don’t have a reliability excellence program. Could go through 2 CEOs. The quickest way to shorten that timeline is to bring in the best in the world and that’s LCE.

One of the things that jumped out to me about LCE was their strong educational services that are provided. A differentiator. Working with Universities, Life Cycle Institute.

I appreciate LCE providing good support to help move our facility in a different direction. Everyone has been very professional. I look forward to future opportunities.
