Supplying Kocurek Excavators for 35 years
SSAB has been helping the Ipswich-based family business to meet the extreme demands that are placed on demolition equipment used to tear down buildings, often at heights of up to 70 metres.
"The key benefit for our company is that we can achieve the high technical results required whilst welding under normal conditions", says Kocurek Excavators director, David Kocurek.
SSAB plates are also supplied pre-blasted and primed to minimise time spent on preparing steel used in manufacturing.
Rebecca Kelly who oversees spare part and service administration for Kocurek clients, says:
"We are privileged to have been able to join the My Inner Strenx program as it reassures customers that we are using the best quality materials, in addition to the best quality production processes and practices.
"The My Inner Strenx logo provides a straightforward way of verifying a product is approved".
For the manufacturing process long steel plates are required to fabricate long-reach and high-reach equipment, and SSAB has been able to supply Kocurek with larger plate sizes to enable products with fewer joints to be assembled.
"People expect something to last if they are putting out a lot of money, so for us Strenx steel is the obvious option. It is a quality product going into our quality demolition equipment", says Rebecca.
