I find it so odd, after 15 years of dealing with Burnham, the first trip we go on was offered by Buderas. 100s of boilers and not one offer of a factory tour, Tell me Burnham, what's wrong wiht this. Tim. Home heating team member since 1992 appx. ???????????????????

    just hosted a whole busload of Wallies at Wetstock IV. Free trip and a very good, informative time. You were invited, Tim.
    Retired and loving it.

    Hello Tim

    Looks like I will have a fellow Wallie on the trip. I am also going to Buderus June 1st.

    Where are you located ? Are you leaving from Logan ?

    Burnham

    I have been to Lancaster many times. Glenn and the rest of the Burnham folks are great people to work with. I was also invited to the Buderus plant in Germany. We were scheduled to fly out of Philly the afternoon of 9/11/01...

    I use both boilers and find both companies easy to deal with. -DF

    Tim,

    It is not the manufacturer's fault you were not ofered a trip to the factory. Your local rep should have offered you trip long ago.

    Any time you want to visit Weil-McLain or Taco for that matter, you just let me know.

    Thanks

    Buderus

    Have Jim French take you to the local tavern in Wetzler (where Buderus is located) that used to be a bomb shelter under a 600 year old building in the town square. The entrance to the tavern is a spiral staircase adajacent to the Men's room....They kept the tavern open well past closing so we could party. You'll really enjoy the hospitality and the factory tour.

    Wetzler

    Paul, thanks for the input, we may just have to try that place.

    I don't know why you have not been invited to Lancaster for plant tours and training. I'm almost sure that it was an oversight though. As mentioned by others, these trips are usually sponsored and arranged by your area representatives through your local distributor. None the less, I have forwarded this to our Regional Manager and he will be contacting you along with Ron and Chris from Mechanical Sales. Enjoy your trip.
