Managing Partner at Metal Forming Equipment Systems, LLC
I have been involved in the metal forming industry for almost forty-seven (47) year and worked with Mr. John Waddington as a representative of his Coil Handling and Feeding equipment in Northern Illinois for the past twenty-five (25) years. His knowledge of the product (he completely designed and engineered the equipment himself), experience, responsiveness and ability to provide solutions to a company’s problem were all extraordinary.

He always went the “extra” to make sure the customer was running to the maximum capability whether it was a product that was custom designed or standard.

Owner at Frick Enterprises, LLC.

John Waddington’s business sold my family’s business several roll-form lines. When our business closed, the equipment was bought by the business I now work with in Mexico. John has always been helpful in supplying replacement parts or helping us diagnose any issues with the lines. Even after 20 years, he provides excellent service and knowledge.

Jeff Lynas
East Plant Superintendent at Raybestos Powertrain
Being at Raybestos for a number of years and trying to accomplish a goal of being proactive at keeping our machines running, more often than not turned into being reactive.
Working with John Waddington in these situations were always pleasant. John was always willing to help with getting Raybestos repair parts in the quickest manner possible and could have come with some well deserved frustrations from John. But that NEVER happened! John was always very professional and quick to help out in any way he could, if it was repair parts or just answering some questions that we needed help with. Having someone like John that I could have confidence in that he would answer a call from one of my electricians and walk him thru a problem was huge for us as a company.
I really appreciate the time John took for us and the professional and courteous manner he showed. Truly appreciate working with John over the years and would be happy to work with him in the future.

Thomas Voytac
Director of Manufacturing at Keystone Electronics Corp.
As an owner of Waddington feeds John was extremely knowledgeable in the technical aspects of servo motors and servo motor controllers. The equipment he designed and manufactured was simple and robust yet also achieved performance which was far in excess of expectations. As a consultant John used his wealth of knowledge and technical expertise to troubleshoot sight unseen equipment failures in the field over the phone. Very intelligent.
