Betta Sanitaryware Continues to Invest
Just recently, a new order for Sacmi machines has been agreed upon by Betta Sanitaryware in South Africa; these machines will be vital in increasing the level of automation and boosting output. The third glazing robot has already been delivered and is up and running, while in September another ALS high pressure casting system and a further AVE were delivered.
In the end, a total of nine high pressure casting systems will be installed. A second tunnel kiln with a capacity of 600,000 pieces per year will become operational around the end of November 2001. It is reported that, in the light of its excellent financial statement, Betta's shares are obtaining a similar degree of success.
In the space of just a few short years, the decisions made by the management at Betta have yielded exceptional results. In just three years they have managed to turn the company around from a position of productive and financial stagnation to one of consolidation and expansion. Through careful investment in technology and automation, they have succeeded in making enormous improvements to quality, pro-capita productivity and profitability.
