FENCO- Why is Fenco the industry leader in teller pedestals and modular counters? Simply put, it's a matter of philosophy, for forty years Fenco's mission statement has not wavered - design and produce the best possible level of quality in a steel teller pedestal and maintain the attitude of accommodating service that every customer deserves.

Fenco has not lost sight of its mission, Fenco has refused the industry's trend to manufacture cheaper pedestals which still sell at relative costs to the better pedestals we make today and our competition used to manufacture. At a 5 or 10% selling price difference, yes Fenco will lose some orders to competition, but what we will keep is our long-term customer base and our integrity.

We think it's fair to ask you, our customer, what additional value does a product have if the operational life of one is one and half, two or three times that of another? We believe that value well exceeds marginal cost differential.

Fenco takes pride in every cabinet it manufacturers; not only for the quality you see, but also for the construction design you may not, we continually look for better ways to design our pedestal construction to maximize its rigidity and functional obsolescence. It starts from the inside and works its way out, so it's not always what you see. A pedestal may look great teh day you purchase it, but will it work great years after your purchase?

You can see by the pedestals pictured below, how a fenco pedestal looks. However, it's by the construction specifications shown on the previous page and the design features noted below that really tell the story. We ask you to make the design and construction comparison for yourself against our competition. We're certain you'll not only get the picture but a more complete understanding of the facts.
