BAPI invites us to an awesome, relationship-building visit to their Wisconsin manufacturing headquarters.

There’s just nothing like a trip out to the countryside!

And so it was earlier this month when our friends at BAPI invited our President Dave Meyers, Vice President Sales Barry Olson, and our entire sales team to visit their production facility in Gays Mills, Wisconsin. We’ve been selling BAPI sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, wireless, and air quality monitoring on alpscontrols.com for 22 years now, so we were very excited to spend a day meeting the BAPI staff and production team, and building on our long and successful partnership.

We admit it, we wanted to show off our facility and the fine people here at BAPI. We also wanted to have our friends from alpscontrols.com get a better understanding of the detail that we put into each sensor that leaves our facility.

This was a pretty cool opportunity; we talk to our counterparts at BAPI nearly every day as we go about fulfilling customer orders and quotes, so the visit was an excellent chance for us to get to put faces with the names that we’re so familiar with, and strengthen the relationships between our two companies. It was inspiring for us to see — up close and personal — the amount of care and expertise that they bring to their work.

And Dave even went a step farther, sitting down with one of BAPI’s production line leaders and helping her build a sensor!

In addition to touring the production floor and warehouse, we also put in a long day getting valuable training about new products, new ideas, and what the future might hold for our two companies.

The fact is, it’s terrific enough for us to work with a company like BAPI because of their quality products and high standards of service — but it creates a whole new level of commitment when we get this kind of rare opportunity for hands-on, face-to-face interaction and communication with one of our manufacturer-partners.

Our visit to BAPI made such an impression on all of us from alpscontrols! To see them building their products with such pride and excitement, with such incredible attention to detail and care, it really gives us a powerful insight into how these products make an impact in our customers’ building projects.

Our special thanks to everyone at BAPI for extending this invitation to us, and for showing us a good time full of instruction, insight, and inspiration!
