"Haener Block Direct"
Program Guarantees Delivery
Haener Block of San Diego announced its program for supplying Haener Block to contractors and builders wherever their projects take them.
"There was some frustration if our customers'] projects took them beyond the delivery area of existing Haener Block manufacturers," says Larry Bouchard, Vice President of Business Development for Haener Block.
"To better serve our customers, and to now bring the advantages of our system to builders anywhere in the US. and most of Canada, Haener Block has created its own national fulfillment service. Orders of 10,000 blocks or more are simply phoned in to Haener Block Direct, and our block will be manufactured and delivered directly to the job site on the date requested."
Bouchard also states that the Haener Block Direct program will allow Haener Block greater quality control over its end product by supplying the block maker with the latest molds, a thorough manufacturers' guide, and in many cases a Haener Block quality control representative on-site while the block is being produced.
