The Southern Manufacturing Exhibition

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Our time spent at Southern Manufacturing in Farnborough has been well spent. Visitor numbers were up on previous years which resulted in a number of promising enquires from many prestigious companies, BAE Systems, Honda of the UK  and Panasonic to name but a few.
Interest was shown in the whole Gigant workshop product range, from workstations to lifting equipment. There were several enquiries from operations intending to move or set up new production facilities where the Gigant 3D design package will be invaluable.
Overall we consider the event to be a success and hope that the activity generated  it is an indication that UK manufacturing has weathered the recession and we can look forward to more favourable conditions in the near future.
It is our intention to attend further regional exhibition later in the year, aimed at manufacturing and other sectors that could also benefit from our range and expertise.

A really bad day in the warehouse…

Friday, February 5th, 2010

We saw this video clip, chuckled, and thought it was worth a comment.

This kind of situation is not that common, but it happens. When it does, the serious note to be made is that the shelving and racking systems should not fall in around you, risking life or injury.

At Gigant, our shelving system solutiuons are specifically designed with safety and accessibility in mind to ensure this type of incident is minimised and any effect of such a situation is not catastrophic. By using a 3D imaging model of the shelving system solution, you can see exactly how the solution will be put together, thus giving you the best use of storage space and minimising any problem areas.

So why not ask us to take a look at your shelving system requirements and let us prepare a purpose built flexible solution to meet your needs today and for the ever changing future. Contact us now for a free assessment.

Anyway, enjoy this video clip – luckily nobody was injured in this clip – just a lot of red faces! Imagine the Insurance Claim form that had to be filled in following this incident!

A rare sighting in the UK

Monday, January 25th, 2010

 
As part of our on-going program of development, we try to get together to discuss ideas on how we can improve our services. This ranges from marketing, to make sure you know how we can help you right through to production and making sure we get you your products installed insitu inline with your expectaions.

Well historically, its been difficult to get all the UK personel in one place at one time, but ironically as the snow fell and the rest of the country came to a standstill (perhaps that’s the reason??) we managed it!

So now Wednesday 20th January 2010 will be noted for the day when all our UK employees joined together to discuss marketing, products and all things Gigant. With our sales team located throughout the UK it’s very difficult (and expensive! – note from MD) to have this type of gathering, but it was most beneficial as we used our collective heads to put some fine detail on some exciting forthcoming events; including

  • “buy on line” addition to our website, to make it easier for you to get what you need
  • Southern Manufacturing Exhibition we shall be attending in February and
  • our new product catalogue to be printed in May, with new products galore

To round off the day, the evening was spent in a fine Indian restaurant, which will also be remembered, perhaps for slightly different reasons at least for the next few days!

Gigant – a new major player in the UK workplace market

The Gigant 3D design software provides decision making support, complemented by skilled staff and the comprehensive Gigant catalogue (www.gigant.co.uk) – with more than 5,000 professional products such as ergonomic workbenches, warehouse storage, safety matting, trucks and trolleys, industrial lifting equipment, ESD safe products and shelving systems. The UK subsidiary is based in Whiteley near Southampton and will be able to supply most standard products directly from stock.

Several UK companies have already realised advantages of our systematic approach to efficient, ergonomic workplaces, such as BAE Systems, the NHS and Honda UK, says Ian Street, head of Gigant’s UK operations.
Gigant Arbetsplats AB is a part of the B&B Tools Group, an ‘A’ listed company on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The Gigant Workplace Catalogue is available at www.gigant.co.uk. As you may suspect, ”Gigant” is Swedish for ”giant” – a highly appropriate name.
