The situation

The continuous investment in new technology keeps the Southern Queensland Steel relevant for their customers. This need for innovation made SQS decide to expand their machinery with HGG’s RPC1200 beam cutting machine

Gerrit Teunissen, Branch manager at SQS paid a visit to HGG’s facility in The Netherlands to see the RPC1200 beam cutting machine in HGG’s own production environment. “It certainly gave us some comfort that HGG had a machine in their facility, identical to the machine we purchased and were planning to bring to Australia. “The Research and development team of HGG works closely with the production team to continue to improve the product and capability of what we can offer to our clients all the way here in Australia.

“There’s not a profile we can’t cut!”

“The installation was incredible”, Dick Thornton, State manager at SQS, stated. It took only one week to have the machine bolted down, after arrival at SQS facility. One month later, the machine was running production. “We have a competitive advantage in the market”, according to Teunissen. “There isn’t a profile we can’t process and produce a finished product on the first attempt”. Southern Queensland Steel is proud of the latest innovation they brought into their facility. “It’s been quite impressive that even the most complex of work that we throw at the machine, it’s been able to produce with high quality and excellent accuracy”, Teunissen said. Thornton added “The RPC could cut RHS around the corner and cuts the flanges away to the web better than any other machine could do”

 

“People want to go one-stop, they don’t want to split the order and share it around. They can now just give us all the coping to do and we’ve been picking up lots of coping recently”
