Heunis Steel believes it is on par with international manufacturers. Many of its machines and equipment are imported and are the latest models and technology available. It has everything under one roof in its factory, ensuring a good flow of materials. This includes the distribution of the finished goods to the warehouse, and from there to the trucks. Double handling has been brought down to the bare minimum with most things being containerized.
Once it started expanding on the plant, the company built everything from scratch. It has evolved with the times by installing a railway track inside the factory, which includes operator-less shuttles conveying goods from one end to the other. This saves on forklifts and operators and removes forklift fumes. During the design of the building, provision was also made for the installation of overhead cranes, making it very easy to move materials around and load it into the machines.
