Cherry\u2019s has placed nearly 4000 machines worldwide and continues to produce new product lines with an eye toward the future.<\/p>\n One of the accomplishments that Mr. Costello is especially proud of is the company\u2019s adoption of the Open Book Management style of business, where the company shares financials with employees and gives employees a stake in the outcome of the company.

New technology allows us to remotely monitor the performance of the machines that we place in service at our clients\u2019 locations. With this technology, the machines can communicate with us and their operators and tell us what they need in the way of maintenance, parts replacement, and repairs to reduce equipment down time. This will revolutionize the way we support our clients through the life cycle of the machine. We can only imagine what other innovations will take place in the next 40 years!\u201d <\/p>\n About Cherry\u2019s Industrial Equipment Jim Farrell
