What services do Graepels offer Fabricators?
Bespoke & Niche Fabrication: Working with fabricators to provide customised solutions and problem solving. Working together with fabricators to meet their requirements. For example, Graepels can assist a fabricator with difficult or bespoke work, so they may secure the tender – a “win-win” for all. We understand that both fabricators and Graepels possess different strengths, resources, and expertise.
Challenging Specs: Graepels possess a different range of machines, tooling and recourses to fabricators. We have the capabilities to achieve complex folds, sheet levelling, rolling work and challenging perforation specs, particularly heavy or thick plate, high densities and large volumes, due to our range of perforating machines.
