Why Use a Technical Consultant?

You Need Help Now - When You Didn't In the Past - Because:
Of your reduced technical staff support and tighter budgets. Resolving today's materials of construction needs alone [sic] - without expert help - is like doing your own taxes and tuning up your own car. You could do them by yourself in the past, but today it’s just too complicated!! Most people need help! We provide that help! We work with your in-house engineers, managers, and with your suppliers.

You Need A Final Technical Authority/Referee Because:
There are normally many groups involved in Materials Engineering - often with differing opinions. A typical breakdown is as follows:

Internally - Engineering staff, chemistry, maintenance (operators and supervisors), production, environmental, EPA/OSHA, purchasing, corporate staff, and others.

Externally - Equipment Suppliers, consulting engineers, A/E design engineers, suppliers, and other engineers, etc.

You Need the Services of Siebert Materials Engineering, Inc. Because:
We do things that you can't do for yourself. Most companies have engineering expertise, yet often lack the nuances of contemporary Materials Engineering, etc., fabrication techniques for both metals and non-metals as well as plastic materials of construction in today's more complex, reduced personnel (and higher business goals to be accomplished with fewer people and expense).

Our Focus is Different!
We provide the materials engineering expertise you need to help you resolve those problems. We also bring you new ideas from other companies. Also, our goal is to make your job easier while saving your company money. And we can show you how to calculate cost savings.

Outside Resources are Necessary Today Because:
Today (with the overall somewhat negative economy), many companies do not have the technical staff to handle materials engineering responsibilities, and those that do (have their own staff) [sic] often do not have the time needed to keep up with the advances in Materials Technology.

The application of the newer `Materials Engineering' is much more difficult, and major failures can result from improper application of the `Right' material, i.e., sometimes requires `specialized' experience/knowledge).

You Benefit by Using SMEI Because:
You receive the expertise and technology you need - without the need for hiring additional technical staff.

You make better decisions because you now have the `missing' details' you need!
You maintain control and avoid unexpected problems.

You save money by controlling operating costs.

You Can Justify Using SMEI Services Because:
We protect the heart and life blood of your plant/organization - your multi-million dollar process systems that depend upon being properly selected, installed and operated.

Other areas of the Client company use outside resources to help them do a better job. Why can't you do the same thing? You can also benefit from outside expertise in Materials Engineering service, and your Payback will far exceed your treatment in the cost of our services.
