Local machine tool supplier, Elquip Solutions, has reached an agreement with French machine tools manufacturer Vernet-Behringer to distribute its products in South Africa. Vernet-Behringer specialises in the design and manufacture of machine tools, installations, complete lines and software. The company’s products and services are dedicated to the structural steel and fabrication sector.

Elquip Solutions CEO, Mike Cronin, says that the demand in steel construction and fabrication in South Africa has seen a rise in the demand for new machines. “Vernet-Behringer has channelled research and development into specialist drilling and sawing machines, which are extensively used in the structural steel and fabrication sector.
