Warehouse continuous coil paint line, Nigeria

Problem

A Customer in Nigeria has his own Roll Forming and Distribution Factory for both painted and unpainted embossed sheet for the building industry but has to rely on upstream suppliers to paint and emboss the aluminium coils. The price of having coils painted and embossed elsewhere was high and guarantee of supply was often not met. Product quality was not always consistently high and rejections meant lost Sales opportunities.

The customer had one further constraint, an existing building originally built to install future Roll Forming Lines. The building was less than 100 metres in length with minimum head height, 5.5 metres. Bronx was able to offer one of our standard 'Warehouse' Paint Lines which have been specifically configured for such scenarios.

Solution

Our customer recognised that he needed a quality supply chain with high quality painted and embossed coil of many different colours with a short lead time and the only way he could achieve this objective was to install his own Paint and Embossing Line.

Bronx International supplied a Continuous Coil Paint Line with in-line embossing capability. The line is capable of processing a large cross section of strip widths and thicknesses with any colour available in very short lead times. Our customer can now purchase unpainted aluminium coils of maximum size and paint and emboss these coils very quickly as required. The line equipment is world class design and quality, guaranteeing a very high class painted and embossed product.

The selection of Bronx as preferred supplier was a direct result of our market dominance and experience in Africa, the total package offered and product guarantees. These features offered the customer a level of confidence and certainty that his investment would be protected. As part of our total package Bronx provided expert personnel to train the Operators and Engineers on all aspects of the line operation and also provided on-site Technology support for an extended period to ensure product quality and line efficiency was at the highest level.

Result

Our customer is now able to significantly reduce his stock level of coils and can respond to short lead time requirements very efficiently. He has employed local people to operate his line with the support of Bronx Technology. The line has been in operation for two months and has produced a large quantity of painted and embossed coils in many different colours. These coils have been roll-formed and sold into the market with some excellent results. This has enabled our customer to become a reliable, on-time supplier of superior quality product with the flexibility to accommodate market demands quickly and efficiently. His cost structure for the roofing industry has been significantly reduced making his total operation much more profitable.
