Testimonials

On any given day EPICS is helping over 15,000 people at over 100 extrusion plants around the world.

“If you are searching for a complete, industry driven, manufacturing solution, EPICS is for you. We have been using this software for over 13 years and I doubt you will find a faster, more flexible piece of software for an aluminum extruder. EPICS has given us a solution for our manufacturing process from order entry to invoicing, from production to shipping. Add to that the power of real time data, email and reporting and we find that EPICS is the complete package for us.

The staff at Foy Inc. is very friendly, knowledgeable and responsive to our needs and problems. They give us the personal attention that we expect from a software vendor. I would and do personally recommend this software to other extruders.”

Thank you Foy Inc.

Patrick C. Schafer, MIS, Aerolite Extrusion Co.

“Integrating EPICS into our operations has been a landmark improvement to our organization. After tracking our manufacturing processes on both paper and spreadsheets over the years, we finally have the ability to quickly identify key metrics for more agile decision making.”

Cameron Munson , President Paramount Extrusions Company
“When we make our decisions we make them from facts not opinions.  EPICS is integral to our decision making process.  Our best decisions tend to be based upon facts.  EPICS is where we get facts.”

“When we started using EPICS in 1980, it helped us run extrusions. Now it helps us run our business.  We value Foy Inc., not as a vendor, but a partner.”

Pat Lenaburg, Western Extrusion
“As a start up company, it was important that SCM integrate a cost effective, turn key operating system specifically configured to managing an aluminum extrusion plant. Foy EPICS extrusion software was the obvious choice and has helped support a faster than expected ramp up.”
