The boiler maker you didnt name used to have an excellent reputation for quality and efficiency. Then they got tied in to ST, and from then onwards... I suspect they may have tried to do too much, and taken on more than they could manage. I seem to recall they got in serious problems a while ago, so perhaps this is a reflection of that. In any event, I hope the sort of "service" you have experienced is not typical or I cannot see them surviving long.
