Adelaide-based Motion Control recently invested in a Bonfiglioli assembly machine, sourced from the company’s headquarters in Italy, making Motion Control the only local distributor certified to carry out complete assembly of Bonfiglioli solutions.
Motion Control has been supplying complete power transmission products to the food and beverage, packaging, winery, automotive and mining industries throughout South Australia since 1993.
The company says its large stockholding and extensive service offering has made it a valuable partner to Bonfiglioli.
Motion Control general manager Claude Masiero said the investment in the assembly machinery enabled the company to better service Bonfiglioli customers across South Australia.
Among the benefits now extended to Bonfiglioli customers in the region is faster turnaround on deliveries and support.
“Previously we had to source products from Sydney and this meant clients waited for a week at least. Now we can offer the same day turnaround on delivery and don’t charge extra for it,” said Masiero.
The company also offers 24/7 support service (including breakdowns) and the supply of spares and repair services, as well as local building of planetaries.
Bonfiglioli regional manager for South Australia Danie De Vries said with the geographical area of South Australia being as large as it is, servicing the market remotely from Victoria was very difficult.
“Having a distributor like Motion Control, with assembly capability that can react to market requirement very quickly, is invaluable.
“The South Australian market, including the Victoria and Tasmania regions, has always been an important part of our business, making up 20 per cent of total sales. In spite of various challenges experienced in the last year, the opportunities for market growth are positive,” said De Vries.
