Elumatec UK, the British arm of the world-wide profile machinery manufacturer has enjoyed a successful 2004 with a significant increase in business.

Driving this surge are two key products, the SBZ615 Cutting and Machining Centre and the RTS (Revolving Turret Stop) welder, both of which have found particular favour amongst small to medium fabricators in ascendancy.

The big advantage the SBZ615 and RTS Welder have is that both can be operated with a minimal amount of operator training. This is now becoming a major factor for fabricators facing growing pressure created by a severe industry shortage of skilled and experienced staff. In one example a fabricator was able to exceed the previous output of two conventional welders each operated by experienced staff, with a single RTS welder operated by a recently employed, unskilled worker. There is a growing portfolio of such anecdotes.

With the intention of taking the company forward to meet what it believes will be far more sophisticated demands from the UK construction market, Elumatec has also recently invested in integrated manufacturing software for aluminium profile processing.

Elumatec can offer a complete tailor-made solution to processing aluminium and PVC-U profiles for any fabricator, and at any level of output, anything from a table saw to a complete frame production line.
