ContiTech is back at Diesel Dirt & Turf this year, showing its full range of off highway products
Known globally for its high quality industrial hoses specifically designed for transporting everything from concrete to chemicals to air, ContiTech head of sales distribution – AUS/NZ Lee Cranswick says that this year at Diesel Dirt & Turf, ContiTech will have its extensive hose collection accompanied by an even wider range of products.
“A new addition this year to our stand will be lightweight distribution conveyors, so we’ll show some samples of our textile conveyor belts as well as a range of accessories to accompany that, like glue and belt cleaners for example,” Cranswick says.
“This will be displayed alongside our core focus, which is the hydraulic and industrial hose. These are products that we’ve been manufacturing for a very long time and are well known on the market.
“Through our link with our dynamic solutions business we will also have a selection of off highway products, such as air springs and we’re going to have a bit of power transmission product there as well. We are renowned on the market globally for our power transmission products and it’s a good opportunity for us to show what we can do in that space.”
He adds that visitors to the ContiTech stand will also have the opportunity to speak with product experts from across the industrial range who can provide a deep insight into how efficiencies and cost savings can be achieved.
“We are looking forward to speaking with visitors to the stand about how we can improve their sustainability and productivity,” Cranswick says.
“We can focus on how to make their business run a bit smoother while reducing downtime with quality products. It’s a tough market at the moment and people want products that last a long time. That’s where we can come in and offer a premium product and assist with proper choice of product for an application.
“If you don’t have the right product for an application, it might last a short while, but if you actually do the due diligence and sit down at the subject matter experts, you can really extend the life of that product by a long time, which reduces downtime and improves cost efficiency.”
ContiTech restructure
From the beginning of last year, ContiTech restructured its operations to better position the company to meet customer needs. Cranswick says the splitting of ContiTech into two divisions – customer engineered solutions and distribution – has allowed the business to showcase more of its wide product range to customers.
“The benefit of the restructure is we’re in front of our customers with more opportunity and more products, and our experts have a strong understanding of our whole product range,” he says.
“We always want to be the first choice for material driven solutions, and the business restructure was the best way to achieve that goal.
“We’ve been bringing in new distributors with regards to the hydraulic industrial space, and we’re doing what we can to focus on the ease of doing business with Continental in terms of you can buy all your all your requirements, with one invoice, one accounts, person, etc.
“One of the key things we’re trying to do is always add value and provide solutions – working with our customers to make sure that they’re getting the best opportunity to succeed in what they’re doing and providing them with quality product.”
