Cape Business News Editorial November 2008

From strength to strength in tough times.

28 October 2008

As we are fast approaching the end of a very turbulent year it is always amazing how quickly it seemed to pass once we reach November... Especially if we consider how this year was filled with “little” challenges like Load Shedding, Hiking Interest rates, Steel prices and top them off with a Global Financial Crisis and resultant devaluation of the Rand.

It is therefore especially unique that Palian Cape, after three years in the Western Cape, can boast with year to date growth of over 30%.

This bears testimony that the right combination of price, product and service will ensure success, even in the toughest of times.

This phenomenal growth was made possible by extensive development of the manufacturing process and the right people in the right places.

After a total of 8 years of development work and Multi Million Rand investments, Palian has not only managed to reduce prices by 15% to 20%, but also managed to increase strength and durability of its products, whilst redesigning to ensure a much more modern look and feel…something that the industry has been lacking over the past decades.

The market demands the very best in products in all regards – strength, appearance, finish, application, lead time, service and off course, price – a demand Palian and Palian Cape will consistently adhere to and strive to exceed.

Whilst there seems to be no immediate improvement in the Economic climate in sight, one thing is certain that Palian Cape will remain focussed on offering end users the best there is in Racking, Shelving & Mezzanine floors at a reduced price, when compared to any local or International manufacturers.

patented Racklock™

Palian Cape has just completed a new 9500 Pallet position warehouse using their patented Racklock™ Racking system. The installation is the biggest of its kind to date, using this unique product.

Adidas, utilizing Uti’s distribution expertise, outgrew their existing facility in addition to readying themselves for the 2010 Soccer World Cup event. Timing, quality and price were crucial, especially in the current economic climate, which suited the Racklock™ system, manufactured by Palian… perfectly.

All contractors worked together very successfully, to ensure the 13 meters high Racking System was installed ahead of schedule, to very tight tolerances. Tolerances that were not only demanded by the Very Narrow Aisle design, but that Palian insists on. Picking from the systems is done via a “Man up Turret Truck” operating in aisles of only 1600mm, thus reducing the footprint of the entire operation drastically.

Racklock™ racking is the latest in a range of innovative products from PALIAN (PTY) LTD that eliminates the need to have welded connectors onto Horizontal support beams, whilst actually increasing the strength of the system. Deflection is greatly reduced under load and tolerances guaranteed due to the automated process of manufacture. All factors that is crucial for most installations, but especially on this specialized application.

Racklock™ standard products and applications are available Ex-stock at as much as 15% cheaper than similar products and are distributed Nationwide.
