We are pleased to report strong project growth across a number of industries this quarter, in particular Mining, Defence, Automotive, Food and Manufacturing. With several exciting LEAN manufacturing projects underway, optimism regarding the future for SA continues to grow. Projects include the design of several manufacturing facilities which have passed feasibility stage and are currently waiting on management approvals to proceed with implementation. Stay tuned – we anticipate releasing more details in our next issue.
With a major emphasis on these projects providing improved Productivity, Quality and WHS, this has been delivered through the installation of our Air Handling Equipment (Dust / Fume Extraction systems, Clean Rooms to ISO Standard) and Plant Equipment installations (robot cells).
