More than 6000 plastic and metal parts for industrial applications

31 May 2006 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Skiffy is a global producer of small plastic and metal parts supplying the small and medium-sized industrial companies world-wide from five sales locations as well as direct via the Internet.

Skiffy SA represents Skiffy in South Africa from its new location in Midrand, Johannesburg.

In Amsterdam, the company has specialised in manufacturing and supplying an extensive range of plastic and metal parts over a period of more than 50 years. Skiffy is able to do virtually everything itself at this location; product design, moulds construction, injection moulding and packing of the final products. Over the years Skiffy has been able to set up a product programme of more than 6000 standard parts. And as Skiffy delivers all products in small pack sizes, these are particularly interesting for the small- and medium-sized companies that use these parts in various industrial applications.

Because of its highly organised and automated processes, Skiffy SA is able to work in a very smart and quick way in order to service customers. Skiffy offers strong benefits such as fast free sample services, availability from stock and quick order processing. Customers can choose to order by fax, via the website (www.skiffy.com) or at the premises in Randjiesfontein, Midrand.

Part of the company's sales successes in South Africa is the up-to-date product information available in catalogues, on CD-Roms and on the website. Not only does the company offer the complete range of products available from stock, it also shows prices, and technical and chemical information on the materials used in the manufacture of the products.
