Even though we had already doubled our staff size our workload was still increasing and we knew something had to be done. This is when Denise and I started to consider another major purchase, a CNC plasma table. While starting KEHFAB, Empire found all the machinery for us to set up shop so once again we turned to them on this purchase. Denise and I did the math and came to the conclusion that the plasma table was the perfect solution. Once the table was set up and started working for us we were able to eliminate all over time, yet monthly sales remained the same, it was crazy. It’s like we doubled our staff size again, only this new member of our team takes no lunches or coffee breaks and actually works while we are taking our breaks. Just over a year has gone by since the purchase and because our business is still new and growing we are back on overtime again but only because our business has increased. The Engel Viking plasma table has made it possible for us to keep up with our ever growing workload.

So far the DURMA shear we purchased has been extremely reliable and takes care of all our steel cutting needs. One of the best parts is the price point. You get a lot for what you pay for! The other intangible is the reliability, works every time.

WESTEEL purchased our DURMA E Series press brake in January of 2009 and we are very happy with it. It is precise and accurate and our guys much prefer the backgauge to the one on our old press brake as the CNC control moves it into the correct position when a program is entered. The DURMA control panel is simple to use and programs are easy to recall. The Safety Light Curtain pinch point guarding, is a real asset, we are compliant with the safety codes and production is not affected.

After having visited Winnipeg and meeting both Laura and Rick in person, we were not at all hesitant to order our Tennsmith LM1014 10FT 14GA shear from them.” I am extremely satisfied with my shear. The sheet support system makes it easily operated by one person. The front operated back gauge setting is easy to use and very accurate, but my favorite feature is the front return chute – real time saver!” The service they offer goes beyond anything we expected. Rick and Laura are both very knowledgeable about the equipment they sell, and what they don’t know, they will quickly find out. We will be relying on Empire Machinery for any equipment purchases in the future!

We own many pieces of typical metal fabrication equipment but the E2590 press brake was our first DURMA purchase. We have been very happy with its quality and performance and will look to Empire Machinery for our future equipment purchases.
