Preventive maintenance
Service Agreements allows our clients to lock in maintenance visits for a given period, to ensure the equipment is analyzed, fine-tuned and maintained to boost performance, maximize product throughput and avoid unnecessary downtimes.
Training
Premier Tech offers equipment training for your staff in a structured, hands-on setting, allowing you to make the most of our clients’ production lines. Our on-site training can be used to onboard new operators or maintenance staff, or as continuing development for operators or maintenance team members.
Field service: Optimizing equipment performance
Sometimes, the best way to ensure optimal performance is to have experts assess the equipment in person. Our field service technicians are equipped to analyze, fine-tune, and optimize Premier Tech machinery, helping it run under optimal conditions. Regular field service visits also provide an excellent opportunity to identify parts that should be kept in inventory, ensuring that our clients are always prepared to tackle any potential issue before it affects operations.
Retrofit engineering: Upgrading for greater efficiency
Incorporating new technology into existing production lines can seem like a daunting task. However, at Premier Tech, we consistently see the benefits of retrofit engineering – the process of upgrading older systems with newer designs and technologies.

Premier Tech's commitment to client satisfaction is embodied in our EMEA customer service team. With nearly 90 professionals, including around 60 highly skilled service technicians, we are well-equipped to provide support whenever and wherever it's needed.

Retrofit Engineering in EMEA
Every year, we run approximately 300 retrofit projects big and small, helping our customers to achieve a positive ROI and this within a period ranging from 2 months up to a year. These upgrades range from meeting newly imposed hygiene and safety standards to boosting overall reliability and throughput (efficiency, capacity and quality).
" We run approximately 300 retrofit projects big and small, helping our customers to achieve positive ROI and this within a period ranging from 2 months up to a year. "
Our retrofit solutions are rarely one-size-fits-all; they are tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of each individual client. This process begins with our dedicated client managers, who develop a deep understanding of the client's operations and challenges to ensure that every retrofit enhances reliability and throughput. We support our clients every step of the way, believing that this is the only path to becoming the long-term partner of choice.
While making the initial sale is often the first step, it requires relentless effort and unwavering dedication to build but even more to maintain the long-term partnership. Every day the teams in the field and in support do their best to ensure we are not just one of the vendors, but a trusted partner who is there every step of the way, helping our clients achieve their goals.
