Maritime Marketing, the African agent for Formech, recently visited Swaziland to train students and teachers how to get the most out of its vacuum forming machines. Five years ago the Swaziland Government bought 70 Compact Mini Formech vacuum forming machines for educational and training purposes.
The company were saddened to learn that the bulk of these machines were either being used incorrectly or not being used at all. To remedy this, the company trained 300 students and teachers, in four regions, from 128 schools across Swaziland, in four days.
The students and teachers were given a crash course in moulding, types of plastic, uses for vacuum forming and trained how to maintain and use the full potential of the machines. The costs of all the training and food were completely covered by Formech.
‘This was an amazing experience for all involved, emphasising that Formech and Maritime Marketing are not just in the business of selling, but providing products that are beneficial to the client, said Maritime Marketing sales executive Matthew Glanvill, ‘The help towards the client is never ending and we want them to know that we are always going to be there regarding any issues, no matter how big or small. It is great to have a manufacturing partner with the same mind set.
Formech sponsored many teaching aids and plastic materials to the schools. With the training behind them, teachers were excited that they could inspire their students to learn how to manufacture products on world-class vacuum forming machines.
