 The engineering skills of a
manufacturing specialist
Swasap is a specialist in railway axle manufacture. 40 years of
dedicated precision engineering ensures a product of strength, reliability
and the highest quality.
The manufacturing plant was
custom built with the finest equipment available for its purpose. A
planned maintenance program keeps the factory in immaculate working
condition.
The GFM forge is accepted as
an industry standard for axle manufacture. Rough and finished machining is
carried out on robust, modern machines similarly commissioned as top line
equipment.
The plant is operated by
qualified and well-trained technicians, with many years of experience in
railway axle manufacture.
A trained and dedicated
workforce
Most of Swasap's line operators have in excess of 15 years of service
with the company, some many more. Their continuous on-the-job training,
pride of workmanship and long experience are guarantees of the
manufacturing unit's capability and the consistency of the end product.
Staff motivation is high and
the company's industrial relations record excellent. Specialization has
resulted not only in workers being clearly focused on their work in hand,
but being able to develop skills in more than one discipline.
International quality
standards
Quality Management Systems at Swasap conform to every recognized major
international quality standard. Manufacturing procedures are certified
according to:
- SABS ISO 9002
