Riley Surface World is one of the world’s leading resellers of surface finishing plant and machinery.
The company, which has recently achieved ISO 9001 accreditation, has a strong global online presence and maintains large stocks of machinery at its 5000 square metres headquarters near Birmingham, UK.
Riley Surface World is experiencing sharply increased demand for its services during the summer period, as managing director Michael Riley explains:
‘We deal with a number of tier 1 automotive and aerospace companies, as well as numerous other manufacturers and surface finishing sub-contractors. What they all have in common is a regular requirement to update their existing plant and machinery.
‘Many of these companies are using their summer shutdown periods to reconfigure, reorganise and dispose of surplus plant and equipment, as well as acquiring new machinery when necessary.
‘As a 24/7 online business, we are always available whenever manufacturers have a specific surface finishing, powder coating or related requirement.
‘The summer period is also when we are re-evaluating our machinery stocks and writing down many items for disposal prior to the busy autumn season.’
The advantages for manufacturers in the surface finishing sector dealing with Riley Surface World are as follows:
New or used machines from stock are mostly available immediately, there is no time lag for production and shipping as there would be from an OEM equivalent; prices are also considerably lower than those of an OEM; there is greater flexibility, as manufacturers can choose from a selection of market leading brands and technical options; and if machinery needs refurbishing, it can be carried out promptly, so there are no production delays.
Riley Surface World also gives companies the option to part exchange existing redundant machinery for appropriate new or used upgrades, as well as buying in surplus equipment subject to its age and condition.
As Michael Riley concludes:
The daily needs of manufacturers and surface finishing sub-contractors are more dynamic than they have ever been. The globalisation of production processes and the pressures of Just-in-Time manufacturing require companies to react speedily and efficiently to the demands of the marketplace, especially during the vital summer period.
‘At Riley Surface World, we are harnessing the power of our technology, our specialist expertise and our large machinery stocks to provide an essential portal for surface finishing companies, with our summer sale being a central part of our offering.’
The Riley Surface World product range includes complete electroplating plants, cleaning and degreasing systems, ovens and furnaces, shot blasting machinery, polishing and linishing machinery, dust control plants and other ancillary equipment.
