Size Matters: Long Time New Jersey Expanding Air Shaft Manufacturer Takes Advantage of Competitors Larger Size
Creatively implementing a streamlined manufacturing process and keeping a large stock of common shaft component parts on hand has allowed Convertech, Inc., to level the playing field with larger competitors who struggle to deliver their expanding air shaft products in less than sixteen weeks.
Wharton, New Jersey (PRWEB) March 31, 2006 -- Creatively implementing a streamlined manufacturing process and keeping a large stock of common shaft component parts on hand has allowed Convertech, Inc., to level the playing field with larger competitors who struggle to deliver their expanding air shaft products in less than sixteen weeks.
Although being in business for nearly 30 years, Convertech is still often seen as the "new kid on the block" in the expanding shaft industry. Competition with larger manufacturers has fostered a creative manufacturing environment at Convertech. "We've had to streamline our production process to ensure we can deliver our shafts fast without sacrificing quality. We keep many of our most common shaft parts in stock so we can custom manufacture our shafts faster than larger, less flexible companies", explained Larry Taitel, President of Convertech.
With the release of the newly re-designed differential shaft, which features a more complicated and innovative design than competing versions, Convertech is still able to deliver in less than half the time of its closest competitor. "We've put a lot of energy and skill into designing our new differential shaft," explained Larry Taitel. "It's able to load and unload materials more easily than any other type of shaft. The GlideLock clutched rollers automatically engage on each core independently so you get perfect tension every time. It's a very complicated design that actually ends up simplifying the entire process and allows converters to run multiple width cores on the same shaft. It takes more time to manufacture the differential shafts but we can still deliver it faster than our competitors can deliver a simple lug shaft."
Tom Cheatle of RTG films is another satisfied Convertech customer who echos Larry Taitels comments. "Not only can we run many different film widths across the shafts, but we can still maintain proper tensions - something that we were not able to consistently do prior on this slitter. Plus we are now able to run the slitter at higher speeds without any issues at all. To date, we are problem free as Convertech promised, plus the delivery date was outstanding.."
For over a quarter century Convertech has been the leader in exceptionally fast delivery time with superior engineering and quality built into every expanding shaft and chuck. With its competitors extended delivery time of as much as sixteen weeks Convertech's faster delivery time will always keep you up and running.
