Samco Machinery adds new equipment, capabilities
- January 17, 2017
- News Release
- Shop Management
Toronto-based Samco Machinery has added several new pieces of machinery in the past year to prepare for an expected increase in business.
The company increased its own workforce by more than one-third and added a vertical machining center, CNC lathe, surface grinder, milling machine, key seater, and paint booth. In addition, the building, hardware, and software were upgraded to help improve efficiencies.
“Our customers are busy, they’re excited about 2017,” said Bob Repovs, CEO, recalling conversations at tradeshows in Q4 2016.
“Customers are looking at building new plants,” Repovs said. “A couple of years ago, priorities were different, but customers are building again. For example, with an increase in building, the demand increases for racking and shelving equipment. After some slowdowns in the automotive industry, customers are again purchasing equipment.
“As we know, labor is not cheap in North America, so people are investing in automation equipment and technology. They’re buying engineered products and solutions and doing everything they can to optimize their processes,” Repovs added.
The firm produces roll forming machines, uncoilers, roll tooling, presses, and material handling equipment for such industries as building and construction, automotive, racking and shelving, garage door, HVAC, and solar.
