The Haffner team has returned from a week-long series of open days for customers and partners at Graf Synergy’s headquarters in Nonantola, Italy, with a host of new orders to fulfil.
Matt Thomas, Managing Director at Haffner Ltd, said: “The open days were attended by more than 950 customers and industry operators from around the world. As Graf Synergy’s exclusive UK partner, we were delighted to have hosted so many UK businesses. The value we were able to demonstrate led to most attendees placing orders for Graf machinery.”
The open days were an opportunity to showcase the advanced technological solutions developed by Graf Synergy to improve quality, aesthetics and production efficiency.
Matt commented: “The open days allowed us to show how Graf machinery transforms production processes and creates value for customers, not least through its patented V-Perfect® seamless weld technology.”
During the open days, visitors were able to see a fully automated production line layout, from the renowned welders with the V-Perfect® technology to the latest generation cutting centres and the integrated Fast Forward Plant logistics system.
The machinery on display showcased the latest in precision and efficiency, including V-Perfect welding machines with 2-4-6 and 8-head configurations. These offered welding without the need for post-corner cleaning, as well as crossbar welding with or without aluminium covers, and threshold welding. Also featured were systems designed for V-cut crossbar welding and inverted frame welding for both internal and external openings, along with high-speed welders capable of completing one or two frames in under 50 seconds. Completing the display was a traditional production line, incorporating double-head cutting machines, controlled-axis cleaning systems and an automated centre for glazing beads.
The open days also featured live demonstrations of innovations and systems designed to speed up production and increase the quality of the final product, as well as presentations from Graf Synergy technicians.
Alongside the learning, attendees were able to network with fellow professionals and make valuable industry connections.
Matt concluded: “Graf Synergy seamless technology is a powerful differentiator for fabricators, and these open days demonstrated the strength of the innovations. We’re looking forward to supporting our customers to realise all the benefits and opportunities they bring.”
