Subject:  We have out grown our Production Capabilities here in Elgin, IL.  Thank You for your Service Support!
 
The Toastmaster Heavy Duty Range Production Line has been moved to our SouthBend Manufacturing Facility in North Carolina.  This is will allow us to expand our Production Capabilities of our WOW Oven Technologies PLUS introduce a number of other NEW Energy Efficient Conveyor Ovens in the near future.
 
It makes sense for the Replacement Parts Inventory, Technical Support Assistance and Warranty Claim Payments be under roof at SouthBend, Fuquay-Varina, NC.
 
Please be patient with us during this transition. 
 
A number of semi-trailers have just arrived at SouthBend and they are busy unloading and organizing this shipment, gearing up for production and getting prepared to fill your Replacement Parts Orders. 
 
All the Replacement Parts for these Ranges no longer inventoried here in Elgin.  Kindly remove them from your future Purchase Orders......our Elgin Parts Department will not be able to acknowledgement them nor fill those orders. 
 
Once we get word next week on SouthBend's progress, we will communicate to you when they will be ready to accept your:
 
                Purchase Orders for All Toastmaster Range Parts
                Email and Phone calls for Technical Assistance
                In Warranty Billing at their Labor Rates and Mileage Rates.........
 
                                                                                                                       in the meantime, continue to send us your warranty claim forms (as before) and feel free to contact my Technical Support Group here in Elgin for any Technical Questions.
 
I'll also address any changes, if any, to Policy, Parts Discounting and Procedures for your Stock Orders if different from what you are used to.  I have asked for a report identifying any previous Parts Orders of yours where there were Range Parts on back order here in Elgin.  We will have to deal with each one individually. 
 
Please be patient with us during this transition......and Thank You for your Support.
