Genflex opens cylinder repair division
4th Quarter 2015
News & events
Genflex has opened a hydraulic cylinder repair division at its factory in Alrode. The decision to relocate this division from Pretoria into larger premises was due to an increase in demand for this service. Genflex director, David Michelle says that the demand for cylinder repairs has increased threefold over the last six months, with all of the company’s branches reporting an increased demand for the service. “We have appointed Hein Ras as the manager of this new and expanded division. He brings a wealth of experience to the Genflex operation and will be responsible for setting up the new workshop, as well as ensuring that all repairs are on schedule and meeting the required quality standard,” he adds.
Genflex has invested over R400 000 into establishing these new facilities and has employed two additional fitters and turners as well as investing in new machinery. Since the introduction of the Genflex 24/7 technical support service van 18 months ago, the company has also introduced the service vans into the Richards Bay, Pinetown, Port Elizabeth, Durban Harbour, Boksburg and Alberton regions.
“These service vans are in operation to assist not only our customers but also other industry players who experience technical breakdowns or problems associated with their hydraulic hoses and fittings, steel pipes and industrial earthmoving machinery. Since the initial launch of one service van, there has been increased interest in these 24/7 service support vehicles, and soon our Cape Town and the Delmas branches will be offering this facility as well,” says Michelle.
