Hydraulic & Automation Warehouse’s (HAW) Cape Town Branch relocated to premises in Milner Street, Paarden Eiland, Cape Town at the end of the second quarter of 2022. The move, a result of a growing customer base and massive increase in sales, sees this HAW branch now occupying 1 280 m2 of space in the Mother City. It is now better positioned to meet the increased product and service demands experienced from its expanding customer base.
The new offices feature a main sales office; a counter sales office; a hose department; a large warehouse; and a mobile workshop area. “The main sales department, the heart of the company, is manned by six sales personnel – three internal and three external, to aid with all customers’ hydraulic requirements,” says HAW Cape Town branch manager Zane Marx.
“Our counter sales offices are designed specifically to aid walk-in customers. Our hose department enables us to tailor hoses to customer specifications, and our large warehouse area is used for bulk stock, which ensures we have everything that we and our customers need for repairs or replacement to their hydraulic equipment,” Marx points out. The branch also has an area dedicated to its mobile division where HAW stocks a complete range of mobile products like hydraulic motors, gear pumps, control valves, and power pack components, for example.
“The main benefits of our new location are space and visibility,” Marx opines. “The new building is more than double the size of the old building, meaning we are perfectly positioned to retain more stock than before which, in turn, enables us to meet the demands of even more customers. The size of the premises not only increases brand visibility but also positions us to bring in new product ranges, increasing our footprint in the Western Cape.”
Although the official move took place in mid-winter, the branch will celebrate its official opening on 06 October 2022.
