CIMLINE

When does Cimline succeed ? When you do .

T he story of Cimline ’ s success doesn ’ t just reflect on the company itself , but the industry it was built to serve . After all , its road to becoming a trusted name in asphalt equipment was paved with a constant desire to grow alongside the many contractors , public entity customers and dealer partners who use its equipment every day . Cimline has built its success on listening to the crews who go home with dirt under their fingernails , the dealers who service their machines and educate the industry , the company owners and purchasing agents who demand the highest quality for the best available price , and the engineers who specify quality in worksite specifications . It has taken more than five decades of innovating machines and working closely with customers to achieve where they are today , and Cimline is committed to the growth of the future with its partners . Despite humble beginnings , Cimline found success more than 50 years ago when it designed its first melter applicator and developed a very popular concrete saw . Although the initial equipment portfolio was small , Cimline equipment quickly became known for its quality and reliability . Cimline ’ s customers responded to the company ’ s operator-friendly approach with sales , and the company began to grow . This was the start of Cimline ’ s journey to provide equipment that is easy to operate , easy to repair and reduces downtime .

Rather than rest on their success , the folks at Cimline knew they had to continue to innovate . That meant designing the industry ’ s latest technology into Cimline ’ s products and achieving growth by diversifying its lineup of equipment . Cimline ’ s engineering team started asking two questions that still drive its process to this day : What is working , and what can be improved in the pavement maintenance industry ? The team also knew it couldn ’ t lose sight of what Cimline ’ s customers wanted in a machine — a machine that they rely on all day , every day — and how Cimline can make their pavement maintenance jobs easier , safer , and more productive . This process led to the first all-diesel melter design , offered by Cimline in www . callape . com [ 6 ] 1.800.210.5923
