St. Louis, MO – Innovations in service have always been a key focus area at Beckwood. First, there was the integrated Pre-Preventative Maintenance system. Next there was PressLink, the remote support module that allows our technicians to access your press from anywhere in the world. Now, Beckwood proudly presents Guardian: your team’s greatest defense against unplanned downtime.
Guardian is an all-new program which features a selection of preventative maintenance plans, built around press service needs expressed directly by our customers. To determine which packages would best bridge any existing service gaps, Beckwood customers were surveyed for their expectations, challenges, and feedback on PM programs to date. As a result, 3 new maintenance plans have been carefully crafted to be available at Guardian’s launch: a Preventative Maintenance Contract, a Support Contract, and an Extended Warranty.
The Preventative Maintenance Contract and Support Contact will each serve as tailored entry points into the Guardian ecosystem. The Preventative Maintenance Contract is geared toward a proactive approach to press health, while the Support Contract is focused on lightning-fast response times—both provided by technicians who know your unique press inside and out. Once a customer has enrolled in both programs, they unlock access to the Extended Warranty plan which covers the cost of all replacement parts through the duration of their contract.
This new branch follows a remarkable facility expansion which added 36,000 sq. ft. to Beckwood’s previous work space of 56,000 sq. ft. Said expansion facilitated the formation of the Services and Operations department, which will oversee all Guardian contracts and activities. Through a continuous investment in service capabilities, Beckwood strives to provide all customers with not just incredible value, but peace of mind that lasts a lifetime.
Guardian officially launches on July 2025. Reach out to your Beckwood sales representative today, or contact us for more information on how to get started.
Press on with confidence, under the protection of Beckwood Guardian.
