Testimonials
The following is just a fraction of what the countless satisfied Stopol customers have to say about us.
Stephen D. Hasselbach
President, CMI Plastics, Inc.
2004 SPE Thermoformer of the Year
I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Stopol as a resource for business asset appraisal. Recently I had the opportunity to purchase the balance of shares in our 50 year old family manufacturing business.
As many of you know dealing with the emotions of a family business can be very sensitive. Stopol worked closely with our family members to help structure not only a fair and real settlement but also an accepted consensus of value for all current assets.
For many years Stopol has supported the growth of our family business in a very loyal, confidential and professional manner. I feel their services not only help the customers but also support the industry as a whole. I highly recommend them to anyone requiring their services.
Stephen D Hasselbach, CMI Plastics Inc.
“Over the last ten years, in our quest to become one of the largest suppliers in the building materials industry, we have purchased multiple extruders from Stopol. Every transaction with Stopol has been very satisfying.”
Fred Ihlenfeld, Gossen Corporation
“As a start up company, we had the normal concerns about buying used equipment. Stopol's integrity and knowledgeable sales staff guided us in making the wisest choices. We have come to rely on Stopol to provide complete extrusion lines.”
Steve Boykins, Precision Plastics LLC
“With Stopol, we get to see our equipment operating prior to purchase. This makes infinitely more sense than buying a machine that was sitting in a broker’s warehouse.”
Brian Cleveland, Precision Plastics LLC
“There are dealers in this industry that you should do business with. There are dealers that you should not do business with.... Stopol is definitely the dealer to do business with.”
Marcel Vezina, Tec Polymer LLC
“We investigated many machinery dealers to get involved with the sale of our extrusion equipment. Stopol was able to provide us with the highest yield for our five extrusion lines. We thank Bud Hoffmann for a providing smooth transaction with the highest level of professionalism. Whether you’re selling a whole manufacturing facility or just one item, you should call on Stopol for their services.”
Fletcher Smith, Caldwell Manufacturing
Specific Recommendations
The following are just a few comments from Stopol customers about our individual services:
MACHINE SALES
A frequent auction attendee and machine buyer, Warren, Ohio-based Bloom Industries Inc. is always looking to bolster its capacity by acquiring new equipment.
As a result, Bloom Industries frequently turns to Stopol and its sizeable inventory of offerings, particularly when it is focused on acquiring a specific type of machinery.
“When you are in a growth mode, as we have been for the last few years, you have to make the most of your purchases. We are always looking for opportunities to get quality equipment at cost-effective prices. And Stopol has been an integral part of that process.”
Ted Bloom
President
Bloom Industries Inc.
AUCTIONS
After selling the proprietary line responsible for 85 percent of its sales to a large corporation, Illinois-based K&M Plastic Inc. was left with a substantial amount of routers, molding machinery and ancillary equipment.
To help it sell the remaining equipment, K&M contacted Stopol, which organized and managed the entire auction process from concept to completion.
“In a very tough market for blowmolding, Stopol was able to maximize the return on K&M’s remaining assets. The return on the ancillary equipment far exceeded everyone’s expectations.”
Mike Micallef
Former President
K&M Plastics Inc.
LIQUIDATIONS
When AcroTech Southeast, Inc. had to liquidate its South Carolina facility, it contacted Stopol for help.
Stopol’s Liquidation Services stepped in, drew up a list of prospective buyers and closed the deal.
“Stopol has always done a good job with auctions and liquidations. As it pertains to the South Carolina plant, they certainly exceeded my expectations.”
