Shareable Quotes

“We started Claybourne with the idea of the industry needed help with customer service. They needed help pushing a product in a direction that said, hey, this is good quality product, but also we can have a real business that supports you in this aspect.”

“I find it so fascinating when people say, multi tier doesn't work, or triple tier doesn't work. I mean, we've seen five tiers. It is never a function of the racking or trays being the issue. It is always 100% the mechanical, engineering and design associated with the HVAC system.”
