Thursday 01 January 2009
2009 sees Graepel Perforators & Weavers Ltd celebrate 50 years of business in the UK and Ireland.
Throughout the past two years Graepel has invested substantial money in the company to secure its place within the industry. Investments have been made in new software, new perforating and fabricating equipment. These new additions to the company enhance Graepel’s ability to produce more complex products, more efficiently.
The new software includes new computer systems to improve customer service and new 3D design software to allow Graepel to work with customers to develop product drawings and solutions. On the floor, investments in new perforating and fabrication equipment increases Graepel’s ability to produce more complex products. Their new state-of-the-art levelling equipment allows them to flatten the more difficult specifications, which traditionally would have been a challenge.
Graepel can perforate sheets up to 2m wide and 4m long from 0.5mm to 25mm thick in a variety of materials. Graepel also manufacture a range of woven meshes and industrial flooring for a range of industries. Fred Graepel, Managing Director, comments, “In the difficult years ahead I am confident the investments we have made in the company will secure Graepel’s place in the market and allow us to grow as we can provide more of a service to our customers and will now also be able to attract new customers. Being 50 years in business is a huge milestone and we hope to continue to grow and develop the business in the coming years.”
