MEET THIS LATEST ADDITION TO THE ALTEX TEAM

October 2021

We were particularly excited to finally meet the latest addition to the Altex team as we had heard nothing but superlatives about this star-like recruit: strong, efficient, reliable and adaptable, technology minded and committed to environmental sustainability were just a few of the positive attributes used. Let me introduce you to our new smart, powerful Italian: the Salvagnini P2lean compact panel bender.

… sorry, not quite the super fit, super lean, kick boxing brunette Italian you might have expected – but just as much a Supermodel and head turner in the Engineering world! Altex saw the arrival of this much-awaited star in August of this year.

Altex Engineering High Press Brake News
‘But what’s so impressive about it?’ I hear you shout. Well, I’m glad you asked:
  • Harnesses the capabilities of 3 –5 conventional press brakes, increasing our floor space and production capacity
  • No re-tooling required, giving us faster cycle times
  • Increased automation and faster turnovers
  • Easily accommodates different manufacturing strategies (lean, batch, kit or single piece)
  • Best of all: it makes us greener (due to reduced energy consumption) …and our competitors too, but with envy!
‘The most important thing for Altex is that our new Italian friend helps us provide a better service to our customers and prospective customers alike.’
  • Reduction in scrap and cycle times means we can maintain our competitive pricing strategy
  • Automation and the new CNC controls mean we can produce consistent high quality work faster and to your timescales
  • Adaptive manufacturing capabilities allow us to refine designs to ensure they meet your needs but are also produced in the most efficient manner possible
  • Ultimately delivering exactly what you want, when you want it, to the quality and precision you expect
‘We would be delighted to introduce you to our friendly new Italian powerhouse, so do come and see us and she’ll happily ‘flex her muscles’ and show you how clever and capable she is.’
