In the first quarter of 2013
EuroMadem, Spain, conducted a
customer satisfaction survey with
16 wire and cable-manufacturing
customers in five countries.
EuroMadem received nine (56%)
responses from customers polled in
four categories: bad, regular, good
and very good, with 98.75% of
responses falling into the good and
very good categories.
EuroMadem polled the following
services: claim response, quantities
shipped X received, documentation,
deliveries, quality inspections,
performance, and packing.
“We are very proud of our customers’
feedback and pleased with the
results of the survey; we will continue
to work towards 100 per cent
customer satisfaction,” said Roger
Santasusana, general manager.
This is a boost for the company
which also received 100 per cent in
its own customer satisfaction survey
from customers in Brazil.
The next survey will be conducted in
January 2014.

Mr Arthur F Organ, a former president
of the International Wire and Machinery
Association, and founder of Arthur F
Organ Packaging Machinery Ltd, has
died at the age of 89.
Mr Organ, of Tarbert Argyll, Scotland,
created the brand of ‘Organpak’.
Arthur F Organ (Packaging Machinery)
Co Ltd had been operating for just
over two years when he first exhibited
at The Wire Machinery Exhibition in
Basle, Switzerland, in 1973. He was
president of the International Wire
Machinery Association from 1979
to 1983. After retiring he went on to
form another company, Waterbourne
Equipment.
Following the sinking of the Scottish
trawler Antares, with the loss of
four crew, Mr Organ and a friend
developed and manufactured a Net
Release system, which many trawler
men took up, so if they were caught
by a submarine they could release
themselves. He became secretary of
the Tarbert RNLI and spent much of
his and his second wife Jean’s time
fundraising for them.
Mr Organ had two sons, Robin and
Rupert, with his first wife Doris who
pre-deceased him.
