Haffner GB Ltd’s celebrates 10 years of working with Haffner Germany

The well-respected supplier of fabrication automation machinery, Haffner GB Ltd, is celebrating ten years of working with its German parent company this month.

Dave Thomas, Haffner GB Ltd’s Managing Director said, “We’re delighted to be celebrating ten years of our relationship with Haffner in Germany. We’ve always had a great relationship with our German counterparts, which has undoubtedly helped us to achieve the successes we have. What’s more, it’s a privilege to be able to sell such a high quality range of machines.”

The quality of Haffner’s machines is perhaps demonstrated in their sales figures. Over 130 of Haffner’s most popular product, the SBA Cutting and Machining Centre, have been sold by Haffner GB over the past ten years.

The SBA Cutting and Machining Centre’s continuing popularity can be attributed to its evident quality and the benefits it offers fabricators. Because it automates the fabrication process, it speeds up production without the need for increased manpower – only one operator is needed to manufacture 750 windows a week. This automation not only reduces wage bills overheads but also minimises waste and improves overall manufacturing efficiencies. The machine hasn’t stood still in the past ten years either. A continuous process of product development by the parent company means that numerous innovations have been introduced. Recent developments include a sawing unit, which reduces plant footprint and a feature which provides the facility to cut at variable angles for tilt and turn windows.

Of course, Haffner GB Ltd’s success is not solely due to the product quality. The company’s customer service has a well-deserved reputation for having a quality that matches the machines’. All prospective customers are offered a free and impartial consultancy service, which includes advice on factory utilisation and machine efficiency in their own setting. This means they can see the actual cost-savings the machine could offer their business, removing the element of risk from the investment.

The formula of high quality products plus high quality service has always been a winning combination. Haffner GB Ltd has proved that formula over the past ten years, and there’s every reason to think it will continue to prove it for at least the next ten!
