We have identified a number of products that are widely regarded as becoming obsoletefor which we are an alternative supply source. We have formed strategic relationships with suitable manufacturers to ensure that all products supplied are manufactured to the highest standards.. In addition to the above we are also a recognised distributor for a number of component manufacturers.. It is common knowledge in the mining industry that a number of manufacturers of critical parts are subsidiaries of large conglomerates that have no realistic competition and/or opposition in their respective markets.. In today's times you, the client, increasingly find yourself being dictated to by some of these OEM manufacturers. Often these manufacturers dictate price and delivery of strategic components, around which you have to plan your production and maintenance schedules, essentially leaving the end-user at their mercy. You then find yourself having to plan around their production schedules or increase your stock levels of their components, which adds to your cost. In addition to this you are also at their mercy with regard to the life cycle of specific items. Equipment/machines are often made redundant due to "upgrades" even though the "older" product performs in a predictable and cost effective manner. The upgrades are often "cosmetic" with very little mechanical or production advantages. These upgrades or "improvements" are also often brought about as cost cutting exercises or "streamlining of product ranges" by the conglomerates whether it suits you or not!<!-- /business info -->
