more competitive.
Acindar, Argentina
Acindar have been producing nails since 1996 and decided to partner with ENKOTEC in 2004 in response to demands for increased volume and quality.
After experiencing the high-performance and output of our machines, Acindar decided to gradually replace their conventional machines with ENKOTEC machines.
ENKOTEC vs. Conventional?
Acindar nail production begins in 1966 in Villa Constitución Plant, by mean of conventional machines, mostly made in Europe. Market demand increased and caused production to operate in two sites: Heredia, Rosario (small nails), and San Luis (medium/big nails).
During 2003 the Heredia and San Luis Plants were closed down to concentrate all production in the newer facility of Villa Mercedes (San Luis), manufacturing approximately 700 tonnes/year. In response to increasing demand for quality and volume, the first four ENKOTEC machines were acquired in 2004, in addition to 54 conventional machines.
ENKOTEC Gives a Competitive Edge
Once experiencing ENKOTEC's performance, it was decided to make a progressively replace conventional nail machines with ENKOTEC rotary machines, with the objective of further improving productivity and competitiveness. Four ENKOnail machines and two ENKOroll thread rollers were added in 2012. In 2013 two more nail machines were added, together with one more thread roller, which raised the contribution of ENKOTEC produced nails to 85% of total production.
ENKOTEC's nail machines have allowed Acindar to produce a high quality with high efficiency, reaching company objectives of production, profitability and quality, delivering full satisfaction to their customers and stakeholders. In this line, there is firm consensus to continue adding more ENKOTEC machines to further gain in capacity and productivity.
