WELDING


Our well-established role in this sector centres on the supply – both on a purchase and hire basis – of expertly refurbished equipment that can provide welding and allied solutions at a fraction of the cost of new investment


list of services, from welding and engineering to machining and fabrication,” says Mark Reaney. Some of the most challenging industrial sectors appear regularly on Responsive Engineering’s customer list – from oil & gas, defence and aerospace to power generation and sub-sea engineering. The company works with a wide choice of materials including steels, aluminium and super-alloys, meeting a long list of national and international standards within an integrated management system. “Westermans refurbishes and


supplies equipment that delivers effective results both in terms of production quality and, of course, cost,” explains Mark Reaney. He highlights a diverse range of customer sectors – from shipbuilding and offshore fabrication to food processing and renewable energy generation. The company operates on a


truly global platform with not only customers around the world but also a growing network of overseas distributors. “The Shenyang Welding Equipment Company in Shenyang, China, which sells and leases a long list of new and refurbished pipe engineering tools and machinery to industries ranging from semi- conductor manufacturing to the pharmaceutical sector is a good recent example,” adds Mark Reaney. Orbital welding equipment, which


typically provides tube-to-tube fusion welding, alongside bevelling and prep tooling are all highlighted by Westermans as some of the units supplied. Matching supply to customer


needs, however, is clearly dependent on Westermans’ ability to identify and procure high quality used equipment. The organisation maintains a continuous awareness of system availability – through worldwide sources – and acknowledges the importance of offering competitive prices to its suppliers, whether the purchase is outright or within a part-exchange arrangement. “This can often help


manufacturers that delay or indefinitely postpone equipment replacement because of perceived economic and logistic complexities of disposal, to proceed”, continues Mark Reaney. This dual recognition of the


importance of providing the highest standard of service through both the purchasing and sales operations is key to the success and leading reputation that Westermans International continues to achieve. When allied to an internationally recognised technical capability that is designed to help ensure equipment provides ongoing, reliable operation, the clear economic benefits of the solutions

the organisation offers add up to advantages that are now well proven. The tube manufacturing sector is one of the key areas, Westermans says, where these benefits can be widely seen.
