What to expect from SMC Pneumatics South Africa at this year’s Electra Mining
September 2016
News
Having officially opened its doors in South Africa earlier this year, SMC Pneumatics South Africa will be exhibiting for the first time at Electra Mining 2016.
True to its customer-centric culture and innovative nature, SMC Pneumatics promises to impress thanks to an array of fully functional demonstration units manned by its highly trained staff complement.
The demonstrations will once highlight the brand’s broad range (over 12 000 basic products) matched to meet infinitely diverse requirements across various industries. Offering service and training nationwide, machine builders and end-users can now benefit from increased levels of high quality technical support and the availability of customised products. Local production and assemblies of several lines at SMC’s Johannesburg factory will also ensure shorter lead times.
“We are proud to be able to showcase our quality range at Electra Mining this year. What really sets us apart is our global culture of listening to, understanding and responding to customers’ needs efficiently,” says SMC Pneumatics South Africa general manager, Adrian Buddingh. “Our team is ready, equipped, willing and able to help you find the correct solution, and with such a large footprint, there is no problem that we cannot solve.”
Priding itself on an open and engaging environment, SMC would like to invite visitors to join them on their stand at Electra Mining. “Whether it is simply to refuel and have a coffee at our coffee bar or to discuss the infinite possibilities when partnering with our technical team and sales engineers, SMC invites you to join us on our stand,” concludes Buddingh.
SMC Pneumatics’ stand is situated in Hall 6 (Stand E5).
