Green box chills out at K 2004
Sandretto UK's partner in cooling and chilling equipment, Green Box, will be presenting a completely new generation of water chiller, the Eco chiller, at the K 2004 in Dusseldorf, October 20-27.
The new Sandretto's main task at PEP is to continue to serve that particular automotive production programme.
Cox adds that: "The new NOVE has in fact also increased our capacity by being additionally deployed on other trade moulding tasks.
It has not put a foot wrong since we bought it." Terry O'Reilly, Managing Director, Sandretto UK, comments that: "We have been dealing with PEP for some eighteen years now and are both pleased and proud to be supporting one of the UK's leading technical moulders in its growth and expansion.
"Our customers put a premium on our reliability and our service and it gives us a real boost to live up to it," says Mike Cox, who notes that: "The new moulding machine needed to be fit for purpose - in this case handling some fairly aggressive engineering plastics materials.
Bi-metallic barrels and screws were therefore needed and were specified.
The machine also needed to cater for a tie-bar clearance that would be able to handle an eight-impression tool.
Not all injection moulding machine designs for the same tonnage would be contenders for the job." In terms of new business at PEP, Cox notes that: "Research is showing us and other UK businesses that we have the wherewithal to re-attract those OEM clients that have gone far abroad for larger mouldings and who are now paying the price.
We are much better able to resource larger technical mouldings in the UK - closer to the market and closer to the customer - without the disadvantage of extra shipping cost halfway around the world." The key watchword for a moulder such as PEP is 'reliability' Says Cox: "We work a three shift, 24 hour pattern and any machine needs to be up and running for all that time.
We operate a lean manufacturing process here and therefore our machines must play a full part in that.
Speed of response is important here - as is the reliability of the service support.
" Cox adds that: " Our main source of equipment is Sandretto UK and we have no intention of moving away from that.
In our business there can be no substitute for continuous, fault-free and reliable production and Sandretto UK always fits that bill.
Coupled to that, the Sandretto UK service is second to none.
If there is ever a problem, they are always there within 24 hours.
They are an extremely good and reliable company to be with.
