Discover what they had to say about the machines in the testimonial.

ASI Métal: A year of growth and innovation in sheet metal fabrication

Alexis Sirmain, the manager of ASI Métal, founded the company a year ago. Since then, ASI Métal has established itself as a dynamic player in the sheet metal fabrication industry. As subcontractors, they specialize in various sectors, from industry to construction, agriculture, and a bit of railway work. They also work extensively with metal construction companies, producing fittings, pipes and sealing components.

Since they began, they have already hired four employees and are currently looking for two more to join their team. Their long-term vision includes ambitious growth plans over the next five years, with three additional hires planned each year to support their expansion.

Strategic investments in equipment

"In an increasingly competitive market, we have made strategic choices by investing in cutting-edge equipment" says Alexis. "We have acquired a 6-meter EMS press brake and HSLX shear, dimensions that set us apart from the local competition. With a five-axis backgauge, we can meet the most technical demands of our clients".

"Our press brake, equipped with the FastBend 2D numerical control, stands out for its user-friendliness, making program creation easier despite difficulty of finding qualified personnel for the press operator position. This system is a real asset for our company."

"Additionally, we have invested in a GX4020 12 kW fiberlaser to cut thicknesses of up to 40mm and achieve higher cutting speeds. This decision is crucial to remain competitive, given the costs of laser machines in the current market."

The HACOBEND Pro software solution

"To meet market demands and technological advancements, we use the HACOBEND Pro software solution. This software provides us with valuable agility, especially with the increasing prevalence of 3D files in our sector. Thanks to this solution, we have not only improved our production quality but also reduced our non-conformities.

Another significant advantage of HACOBEND Pro is the fifty percent reduction in programming time, which allows us to optimize our efficiency. Moreover, in a context of labor shortages in the sheet metal industry, this software makes bending accessible to people with basic knowledge, facilitating the recruitment and training of new operators."

A winning partnership with HACO

"We chose to partner with HACO due to their support for comprehensive solutions and their excellent value for money. But most importantly, the user-friendliness of their numerical control was decisive in our choice. Thanks to HACO machines, we can meet the growing demands of our customers and position ourselves as an innovative leader in the sheet metal fabrication industry."

In conclusion, ASI Métal, through smart investments and strategic partnerships, is well-positioned to continue its growth and successfully tackle the challenges of the sheet metal fabrication industry."
