Ready to Work: Advent Energy Solutions Testimonial

When Advent Energy Solutions started their company, they knew who would supply their equipment and tools. Based on years of previous experience working for different companies, the group knew Altec was a single solution for equipment, tools, accessories and service.

“We’ve had a long-term relationship with Altec for numerous years through a couple of different companies,” said David South, Advent Energy Solutions CEO. “We’ve always relied on them for not only the quality of our products but also the service. Whether it’s new equipment or tools, the communication and service overall have been outstanding.”

South and his team worked with Altec to build their fleet, and created customized truck kits with Altec Supply. Truck kits from Altec Supply are curated and assembled based on customer needs and arrive when equipment does, saving valuable time.

“In our purchasing arrangements with Altec, we have laid out a specific toolkit that is perfect for what we’re trying to do and accomplish in the field,” South said. “[Altec] has been very instrumental in streamlining our needs and getting us the products we need when we need them.”

When choosing a vendor for equipment and tooling, South finds effective communication and customer service to be of the utmost importance—qualities that Altec is committed to providing its customers.

“As a business owner, service is as important to us as the price,” South said. “The overall communication and overall support we receive from Altec and all of their divisions has been really important for our business.”
