Earlier this year, STAUFF France took another step on its way to become a full-range supplier of ready-to-install port-to-port solutions for hydraulic and fluid power applications.
Already in January, a state-of-the-art all-electric tube bending machine and other production equipment were put into operation at the company's headquarters in Vineuil near the city of Blois in the Loir-et-Cher département.
Now, customers throughout STAUFF France's sales territory (which also includes Algeria, Andorra, Monaco, Morocco and Tunisia) can be supplied not only with individual hydraulic line components (such as tube and hose clamps, tube connectors, hose connectors, flanges, quick couplings, ball valves and more) but also with manipulated and pre-fabricated tube assemblies made of steel, stainless steel and other materials.
Tube Processing Order at STAUFF France
In the course of the pre-fabrication, manipulated tubes can be assembled with further components, resulting in sometimes extensive and complex customer-specific kits and assemblies. In particular, original equipment manufacturers among STAUFF France's customers greatly appreciate this option, because purchasing kits and assemblies instead of individual components saves valuable time and capacity, e.g. in procurement and stocking as well as in assembly.
The tube bending machine at STAUFF in France is now part of the worldwide STAUFF network in currently 9 countries.
By connecting the machines, manufacturing parameters can be easily exchanged among each other as needed. As a result, especially globally operating original equipment manufacturers have the possibility to obtain identical products sourced from several STAUFF companies worldwide without considerable additional organisational effort. Similarly, by connecting the tube bending machines, production peaks at STAUFF can be balanced out and orders can be transferred from one location to another as easily as possible.
