Witbank works expand with addition of paintshop and glass booth
Even as other companies grapple with the recession, Tubular Holdings is investing over R25-million into extensions to its Witbank workshops. With the March 2010 commissioning of over 3500 square metres under roofing, the company is adding finishing capacity and capability to its steelworks, explains Carlos de Melo.
"What we're doing is creating a blast booth and painting area. That's an important addition to the
company's works, as it allows us to take freshly fabricated steel sections, add the protective layer of
paint and then deliver finished goods to the client," he says.
Where previously, fabricated sections would be dispatched to a subcontractor, he says time and cost
are reduced with an on-site, in-house facility. "Every item of steelwork must be either painted or
galvanized before it is ready for installation on site. By handing it directly from steelworks to paintshop, the time taken to complete items is reduced, while the removal of an additional layer of logistics in delivering to and from a third party means reduced risk and cost."
The paint shop represents a substantial investment, de Melo agrees, but one which extends Tubular's competitive advantage. "We are of course bringing in the necessary technical skills and expertise; with the opening of the paint shop, some 30 to 40 additional employment opportunities have been created.
That makes Tubular even more capable of meeting customer needs within tight deadlines," he
Concludes.
