History of SCM Group Australia
With a working relationship spanning nearly three decades, the SCM Group was proud to announce its acquirement of Gabbett Machinery, Australiaโs leading supplier of professional woodworking and aluminium machinery. The decision to make the transition to operate as SCM Group Australia was a natural progression for the two organisations.
Initially making the official announcement at AWISA 2016 Exhibition, SCM Group have committed to a high growth plan in Australia for the immediate future, with a focus on automation and improved production processes.
Mr Luigi De Vito, SCM Group Woodworking Machinery Division Director, explains โOur goal is to offer the Australian woodworking industry our entire range of solutions, the most extensive in the industry: from machining centres and edgebanding machines to solid wood machining, timber construction systems, sanding and finishing solutions.โ
SCM Group Australia will also continue to offer their exclusive product ranges, including FOM Industrie and TigerStop. To ensure our Australian customers continue to receive the same level of service they have come to expect, SCM Group Australia is investing heavily in after sales customer care activities. Customers will benefit from increased stock and the availability of fast moving items for both machinery and spare parts, along with a streamlined service response with direct access to the SCM Group worldwide network and support. SCM Group Australia has committed to expanding our service departments to even further reduce response times.
โOur focus on customer care will have a positive impact for all our customers. As part of the worldwide SCM Group, we can offer direct access to the full complement of SCM Group products, from entry level machines right through to full turn key production systems โ all from one organisationโ, states Mr Lee Gabbett, CEO of SCM Group Australia.
