What Members Are Saying About ECOH

Rockford Fastener, Inc.

Relationships are what make Rockford Fastener, Inc. what it is today. Rockford Fastener opened for business in 1977 with a small workforce — the manufacturer had seven employees at the time — and a very big goal, namely, to be the best supplier in the fastener industry. That original group of employees was joined by other highly skilled and motivated individuals who were intent on providing fastener buyers with superior quality and prompt service. Today, with 84 employees and much improved capabilities, Rockford Fastener continues to form active partnerships, achieving long-term, mutually profitable and stable relationships.

“The organization is focused on getting and keeping the employee healthy...”

“Rockford Fastener’s relationship with Employers’ Coalition on Health dates back to the founding of ECOH,” says Bryan Burgy, president. “The organization is focused on getting and keeping the employee healthy, ensuring that heath care providers deliver quality care and minimizing heath care costs because people aren’t overusing the system. It is a leader in promoting innovative thinking and a champion for improving the lives of everyone in the Rock River Valley.”

Cost

“We all buy the same health care so what you really look at is the value proposition. I stay with ECOH rather than pay the high premiums and high administrative costs associated with large insurance companies. Our company shares bonuses based on profitability. Reducing costs as an ECOH member strengthens Rockford Fastener’s bottom line. The long-term savings benefit everyone in the company.”

Performance

ECOH does a phenomenal job. The staff is helpful and efficient. Many transactions take place, and the quality of processing these transactions is extremely good. Neither I nor Rockford Fastener’s human resources department spend much time working through problems.”


Quality

“ECOH is very aware of issues concerning the health care community. ECOH is probably the most cutting edge with respect to collecting and analyzing health care data and monitoring the quality of health care provided. It uses information it has learned for the mutual advantage of member companies and our employees.”
