Product Care Programs

Continued Support through Customized Service

FILAMATIC’s Product Care Programs help identify changing levels of support throughout the serviceable life of our standard products. With our in-house manufacturing capabilities, we often extend the life of a system beyond normal equipment ranges. On a product’s last date of manufacture, we evaluate the product to determine its progression through different levels of its care program. These different program levels are identified below:

Care Program 1 – CPLevel1

Refers to products currently being manufactured. Full technical, field engineering, training, and spare parts support are available for these products.

Care Program 2 – CPLevel2

Refers to products that maintain the same level of support as CPLevel1 products even though they are no longer manufactured. FILAMATIC refurbished machines of this configuration are being sold and supported. Full technical, field engineering, and parts support are available for these products. Product training may be available.

Care Program 3 – CPLevel3

Refers to products whose last date of manufacture is more than ten years from the current date, and a review has determined that a reduced support program is appropriate. Once designated, a product will remain at this level for a minimum of two years. Support elements will be available on a decreasing basis. Product training may not be available. For products at this level, technical service, shall provide 8 hours of support prior to billing customer.

Care Program 4 – CPLevel4

Refers to products beyond the 20-year support level that FILAMATIC has determined are appropriate for a diminished service program. Field engineering, technical support, and product training will be provided per “as available” basis and may be a reasonably “chargeable” item. For products that fall into this level, technical service, shall provide 4 hours of support prior to billing customer.
