What Our Customers Say
Chris, Purchasing Manager
“No matter how much research you do on a company, you’ll never know if they can truly deliver until you write the first P.O.—It’s the moment of truth. C. L. Smith really cares about us—if there’s ever an issue, there’s always a plan of action and it goes very smoothly. We’re very picky about our bottles and the service we receive. C.L. Smith’s bedside manner is perfect.”
Bill, Supply Chain Manager
“The start-up costs for a new product are substantial—and we need a partner who will help share in those costs during the testing phase. Not every company is willing to share in that investment, But C.L. Smith will. In addition, they have great quality controls, the latest technology, and a thorough inspection process. The customer service is excellent.”
