Galvanising relationship ensures durable products
A family-run company established over 150 years which has been supplying equipment to fishing vessels for over 100 years, has developed a successful working partnership with a galvanizing company.
This section of the plant will house a new deck crane in addition to the existing galvanizing and preparation cranes to significantly improve the speed and efficiency of galvanizing operations.
It will particularly enhance the company's 'white end' operations where galvanized items are prepared prior to delivery.
Tony Wonnacott, Wedge Group's Regional Director for the South West, said: "The new facility is due for completion in January 2006 and will give South West Galvanizers a number of big advantages.
It will greatly increase our capacity at the 'white end' of the process and also include a passivation tank to further improve the quality of the products we deliver to our customers.
It will also free-up valuable space and equipment in other parts of the plant, which in turn will make the whole operation faster and more efficient." He said the purpose of the expansion work, which now represents a total investment of almost £1 million was for South West Galvanizers, which employs a staff of 43 people, to provide an even better hot-dip steel galvanizing service to new and existing customers in the Devon, Cornwall, Bristol and Somerset areas.
The company's modern galvanizing bath measures 7.5m x 1.2m x 2.5m (working dimensions) and meets all the latest European and UK environment-protection regulations.
