Rebuilding in-house capabilities.

Rebuilding in-house capabilities

The following grid lists the in-house rebuilding capabilities of
rebuilt machinery dealers in four major areas of rubber processing
machinery. The capabilities fisted for each dealer are based on
their responses to a mail questionnaire. Several dealers indicated
that they did not have these capabilities but could arrange for
these services and were not included in the grid.
