Small nylon and metal parts supplier
7 April 2004
News
Skiffy SA is a supplier of small nylon and metal components that can help solve any number of construction and/or manufacturing problems. The company offers a standard range of products with detailed specifications and dimensions that are listed in a printed catalogue, a CD-ROM as well as its comprehensive website at www.skiffy.com.
Skiffy offers small pack sizes, samples, ex-stock availability, overnight courier service, and no additional tooling costs. Orders placed via the website or CD-ROM receive free overnight courier service and free samples.
The website is completely interactive - with the possibility to call up detailed information and specifications with photographs and diagrams, input orders, payment via a secure credit card line, request documentation, review a list of retailers, price lists, newsletters, specials and more. Historical details are also available to users online and this makes the ordering process cheaper.
On the CD ROM all information is accessible by simply clicking the mouse. The CD needs no installation and can be used directly from the CD drive, and can be used to place orders via e-mail, print orders, price lists and general information. For those where a printed catalogue is more practical, the catalogue comes complete with detailed specifications and diagrams, material information and properties.
Articles not featured in the company's standard range of products, can be manufactured especially at a minimum quantity of 10 000 pieces. With more than 5000 handy, high quality articles on offer, the company says that customers will certainly find the right components for their application and discover just how simple it is to obtain high quality components from them.
