The company’s years of experience let us serve our customers down to the lowest level - in mechanics at part level, and in electronics – at component level for our own machines and those of other companies. Our highly motivated and extensively trained engineers, technicians and employees follow the latest developments in the branch and the market. We offer our constantly increasing number of customers quality work for minimum time at their or our location for manufacturing and installation of our machines, or repair and retrofit of any brand shape-cutting machine. We troubleshoot our customers’ equipment for free online or over the phone first, localize the problem and its nature – whether it is hardware, software or man-made and then together with the customer, decide the best way to solve it.

For HVAC Plasma and Liner Cutting machines, we provide new, high speed quality machines; repair, upgrade and retrofit of all Lockformer, Advance Cutting Systems, DACC, PPI, ShapeTech, ProFAB and other manufacturers’ models. We are also familiar with the older and new versions of Lockformer Vulcan machines and those of the other manufacturers.
