The former 2600sqm Mercer site is barely 200m from where Superior Stainless previously operated. “The drawcard of moving was having double the floor space, and triple the yard space that we had at our old site,” Drinkwater said. There was also the advantage of acquiring three 5 tonne gantry cranes, and one 10t gantry crane, when the former Superior Stainless site had only one 5t gantry crane, he said. Since moving in mid-January, the floor space has been split into a heavy fabrication section constructing structural steel framing, and a smaller area for manufacturing stainless steel kitchen bench tops. A new drill press, press brake and roller have also been bought to go with the existing machinery.
