The North African firm asked the Italian firm to supply a complete new line for cutting of disks, beginning with steel ribbon. The Italian firm is a global leader in the production of hydraulic and mechanical moulding machines.

After initial contacts with the Moroccan firm, the Italian firm asked us to oversee the relationship with their client.

Indeed, in Africa, our collaboration with the Italian firm has consolidated over several years and has grown locally through dozens of projects completed successfully.

Our technical and engineering knowledge of blade production, together with the Italian firm’s outstanding experience creates a package which is certain to be of interest for any entrepreneur wishing to invest in modern technologies by relying on a partner able to guarantee machinery and equipment with high standards of quality and reliability.

 

Using this initial analysis, we were able to provide the Italian client with information necessary for them to identify the most appropriate choice, within their machinery range.  Making use of the experience of our qualified external specialists, our staff then analysed economic quantification of the cost of the moulds.

At the same time, our specialists have launched and managed the contacts with our partners supplying the planned control systems, to size and define the feed line for the steel ribbon above the moulding machine, defined as follows:

• Motorised decoiler with presser arm;
• Loading cradle for steel coils;
• Straightening motor with “crocodile” opening, system to assist insertion of ribbon in the moulding machine and electronic advancement;
• Motorised belts for disk extraction.

Having defined the overall project, we prepared a proposal for moulds, feeding line and extraction reels, while the Italian firm drafted the technical and financial proposal for the moulding machine.

 

Having presented the full project to the Moroccan client, we then oversaw the complex technical-commercial negotiation stage until we received confirmation that supply would be entrusted to our consortium.

Our specialists then moved on to the executive planning stage and construction of the moulds, assigning the order to trusted specialised workshops.  The Italian firm built the moulding machine while the other partners produced all other components for the line.

At the Italian client’s factory,  we successfully tested the complete line.  We then organised and coordinated transport to the client abroad, sending all the staff required for installation and implementation at the [end] client’s factory.

Having completed implementation, we prepared all formal statements of definitive acceptance.

We still assist the Moroccan firm for all their needs in terms of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance for the machinery and equipment. We also supply spare parts and consumables both for the line provided and other assets already held by the firm, providing retrofitting solutions as necessary.
