One of the companies in Grupo Silgest, La Herramienta Industrial, has been awarded a major contract to supply machining and welding equipment and tools to one of Africa’s leading vocational training centres, as part of a project funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
A comprehensive supply of equipment serving a key purpose: providing better training to build industry. Because industry is also built through training
“The contract covers the supply of a comprehensive and specialised solution designed to meet various practical training needs in industrial settings.”
Some of the products supplied.
A project with both technical and training dimensions
The contract covers the supply of a comprehensive and specialised solution designed to meet various practical training needs in industrial settings. The equipment included in the contract comprises:
- CNC electric universal press brake.
- 4-roll bending machine for 3100 x 6 mm steel sheets.
- Bending machines for tubes and profiles with a capacity of up to 100 mm.
- Sheet metal bending machines and shears.
- MIG-MAG, TIG and spot welding equipment.
- Plasma cutting equipment.
- Power tools, such as grinders and drills.
- Small machinery, such as bench grinders and drill presses.
- Machining tools for chip removal: drill bits, milling cutters, blades and turning inserts.
- Measuring instruments: callipers, depth gauges, micrometers, digital height gauges, gauge blocks, dial indicators and measuring and control tables.
- Hand tools.
This is a set of equipment that will provide the centre with a solid technical foundation for teaching and practical training in manufacturing, forming, welding, machining and dimensional control processes..
Much more than machinery: training for industrial development
This project has value that goes beyond the technical aspect. When a vocational training centre is equipped with suitable, up-to-date equipment that is tailored to the real demands of industry, it creates a learning environment that is far more effective and closely aligned with the market.
This means training better-prepared professionals, improving the transfer of technical knowledge, and helping to strengthen the local industrial base.
In this regard, participating in an initiative funded by the UNDP reinforces an idea we fully share: access to technology and specialised training is also a driver of development.
