Dave Thomas, Haffner’s Managing Director says that the company’s continued sales growth is largely due to the continued success of its SBA Cutting and Machining Centre, backed up with excellent customer service which includes free consultancy.

The Centre offers a solution to the problems faced by many fabricators. By automating much of the fabrication process, it guarantees quality and accuracy and – crucially – can fabricate up to 750 frames a week using just one member of staff.

Dave adds, ‘The machine has always offered a multitude of benefits to fabricators, but recent developments make it even more valuable. For instance, the centre now has a double routing facility for night vents, so rather than night vents being a separate process, the Centre can cut them in just 10 seconds.’

Next year is looking rosy for Haffner too. Ian Wheatley has just been recruited as Head of Sales and early signs suggest it was an astute appointment – he secured his first sales within a fortnight of joining the company.
