Following are thoughts for executive management to consider when determining the advantage of lease versus purchase of Wilevco Batter Systems.

Our lease program is attractive from both a financial and practical point of view. Leasing avoids the initial capital expense required to purchase the equipment, freeing that sum for other important projects. You can then expense the consistent monthly payment.

As outlined on the highlights page, replacement parts, equipment updates and service visits are provided at no charge. These tangible features of our program have proven to add up to significant cost savings for our lease customers over purchasing their equipment. Ted Brewer, Campbell Soup company says, "Since we put in the Wilevco Systems, we have been able to contain costs approaching a quarter of a million dollars on an annual basis."

There are also intangible elements, which are difficult to measure, specifically the constant contact and communication with Wilevco. Production personnel especially appreciate these factors:

• Wilevco lease customers are visited on a regular basis by senior technicians to inspect and service your Wilevco equipment, thereby assuring its peak performance in mixing and controlling batter.
• The precise technical adjustments to the equipment, the written Service Report, and the training of your staff on proper operating, maintenance and sanitation procedures are contributing factors to achieving the full benefit of our equipment.
• Quality assurance of value added products in the battered and breaded food industry rely on very tight control of batter viscosity and temperature.
• "Loss of this control can be measured in dollars-as much as $1,000-2,000 per day per line…" (Ed Fleming, King and Prince Seafood). Strong statements such as this, are common among our many satisfied lease customers.

Additionally, issues of operator inexperience or bad production habits, observed by an unbiased eye, are addressed promptly and efficiently. Other issues, such as system and line configuration, or answering questions from plant personnel can be better accomplished by these on-site visits.

As years pass, the equipment can become "tired" and should be replaced; again, an honest, unbiased eye will assess the equipment and schedule its replacement.
