Nylon and metal parts for projects
August 2005
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
System integrators and plant designers needing nylon and metal bits and pieces to complete customised mechanical assemblies, will find this selection useful. Skiffy SA is a supplier of small nylon and metal components that can help solve any number of construction and/or manufacturing problems.
Skiffy has a standard range of products with detailed specifications and dimensions - in a printed catalogue, a CD Rom and a comprehensive website - www.skiffy.com. The order process may be initiated from anywhere in South Africa, via Internet access, e-mail or fax. Customers can use the catalogue, or the extensive search options on www.skiffy.com and take advantage of the terms available when placing an order:
* Immediate delivery from stock.
* Available in small pack sizes.
* Large assortment.
* Detailed information available.
For orders placed using the website, or from the CD Rom, delivery is free of charge, there is no order surcharge - and samples are also shipped free of charge. Customers ordering via the Internet for the first time, will receive a free mini toolkit. Skiffy encourages its customers to contribute good ideas for new parts, and each month, with every Internet order placed, there is a chance for the three customers offering the best ideas to each win a digital camera worth R6500.
The entire Skiffy program is also available on CD Rom and all information can be accessible through navigating by mouse. The CD Rom needs no installation and can be used directly from the CD drive. This can be used to place orders via e-mail, print orders, price lists and general information.
For customers where a printed catalogue is more practical, the catalogue comes complete with rand prices, detailed specifications and diagrams, material information and properties. Articles not featured in the standard range of products, can be manufactured especially at a minimum quantity of 10 000 pieces.
With more than 6000 handy, high quality articles on offer, Skiffy is a good place to quickly find the quality parts that are needed.
