Get more value for your business


Your long-term success is at the heart of all our services. Whether you want to improve productivity, reduce emissions, or increase capacity – or maybe all of the above – we strive to provide services and support that meet your needs.


Our service offerings are designed to add value to your operations in multiple ways:

Increase capacity
You want to get more out of your existing equipment to meet market demand. We can help you boost production at your desired volumes by optimising processes, upgrading equipment and providing the right parts and assistance.
Improve equipment availability and reliability
Whether you want to produce more or reduce costs, breakdowns and unplanned downtime are simply not an option. You need equipment that is available to run at the designed capacity and with high reliability. Inspections, troubleshooting, and timely on-site maintenance and repairs ensure you are on track with your objectives.
Improve productivity and energy efficiency
Productivity is about maintaining production. We can help you reduce costs by identifying and removing bottlenecks, optimising processes, and improving energy consumption with appropriate product upgrades and parts, and planned preventative maintenance services.
Minimise the environmental impact and meet regulations
Achieving emission requirements and delivering more sustainable solutions are a necessity for every plant. We can help you achieve these targets by training your employees to operate equipment correctly and efficiently; through our fuel substitution solutions; appropriate conversions or upgrades; and maintenance services and parts for your air pollution control equipment.
Output quality solutions
You want to meet your customers’ quality demands for your products. From unique laboratory services to product and process training, equipment maintenance and upgrades – we help you deliver the best output.
Non-negotiable health and safety
Operating your plant in a way that secures the health and safety of all employees is a must. Not only do we deliver services in such a way that secures this, we also offer solutions that can help you maintain an outstanding health and safety track record: regular safety inspections, and equipment repairs and upgrades where necessary.
