levels in meeting international standards.
The Company will also introduce in the next few days the very latest
treatment methods for its powder coated products which will further
increase the manufacturing capacity of the Company.
The new methods will include the treatment of mild steel so that the
company can undertake powder coating of mild steel products as well. In
addition to now being able to supply powder coated products to best
quality standards, the Company will soon introduce Wood finish products
and Bright finish products, to add to its range. Having received the ISO
certification not so long ago, the latest technology in powder coating
became yet another feather in the cap for Swisstek in a very short span
since the Company came under the umbrella of the Walltiles Group.
The Company currently enjoys a 30% market share in the industry and
this is bound to increase with the latest developments. |
