“As we continued to grow, we have continued to buy Forsstrom welders as they match of methods of working and are well supported.”

Simon Bell, Technical & Production Director, Custom Covers

We asked our UK customer Custom Covers some questions.

This is what Simon Bell answered.

Which product do you manufacture?

  • Temporary structures and tensile fabric structures
  • Swimming pool covers

Why did you decide to purchase Forsstrom machines?

We bought our first Forsstrom machine over 20 years ago based on an evaluation of value for money and productivity benefits. As we continued to grow, we have continued to buy Forsstrom welders as they match of methods of working and are well supported. We have now just bought our 10th & 11th TDW welders.

Is there anything you are specifically satisfied with?

We value to ability to place large sheets into the welding trough, and this allows good clearance around the welding electrode.

Do you have any tip concerning your Forsstrom machines that you would like to share?

The ability to programme in a semi-automatic mode aids productivity in long welding runs.

What is your experience with service and support after the delivery of your machines?

The UK is well served by James’s support (James Nightingale at HF Industries), and we have always had rapid support from Sweden when this has been necessary.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?

We find the machines to be robust and reliable.

Thank you Simon Bell and Custom Covers for sharing and for being our customer.
