An introduction to my business - Creative Metals

[Paul#25]

I like your idea Erin. Pitch it to the committee.

[AndreasR]

The committee is in lockdown, Sitting outside Tops!!!!

Thanks Erin, great idea.

[Ricof4e]

I like the idea, but usually with it comes those name and shame threads especially if one member is dissatisfied with the services of another. Not that I think there are any woodfetchers on this forum...

I'll get onto it soon...I'm very fortunate to be working full time from home, and am busier than ever, although not really making money busy.

At the moment i am running full steam. Really need more hands to keep up with the demand.
Frustrating part is that most of my suppliers are either still closed or on a 3rd of capacity.
Busy pumping out 1000s of these foot operated sanitizer stands. Lucky...

Hi Everyone, been a while.

I have moved back to Centurion at the beginning of the year. This brings with it some new challenges.

Need a new shop to rent, new suppliers etc.

Can anyone please recommend a good laser cutting and CNC bending company near Centurion?
Also need someone that can do quality powder coating near Centurion.

[Bugjuic]

I make use of Laserwise in Silverton for laser work as well as ,General Profiling for cutting and bending.

For powdercoating I use Twilight Powder Coating(Silverton)

In centurion there is a place called Productive Systems that could also assist with laser cutting

Hope that helps

Thanks a mil, will try them.

[Disco Nic]

Good luck on the new venture, Jotto!

[jotto]

Thanks Nico, much appreiated.
Focussing more on the trailer manufacturing business at the moment (kammatech.co.za) if I may plug it shamelessly.

Still looking for an industrial premises, difficult to find something with agents not even responding to their own ads.

Am planning on a small retail section for camping accessories.
