| 59 T T Kelly Deeks Maximising up-time for customers’ equipment Betech can help with everything from sourcing hard-to-find products, assisting with bearing and/or drive designs, and other complex solutions that help clients from a wide range of industries to problem solve and source the parts they require. SOREC - Bearing and Engineering Technologies ENGINEERING As a business that revolves around service, Dunedin’s Bearing and Engineering Technologies (Betech) offer the best team, as well as the best products, for all bearings, power transmission, welding, and engineering supplies. “We’ve got a team with combined experience of about 150 years,” says Betech managing director Mike Wheeler. “They love nothing more than helping our clients come up with the perfect solution for their engineering needs.” Betech can help with everything from sourcing hard-to-find products, assisting with bearing and/or drive designs, and other complex solutions that help clients from a wide range of industries to problem solve and source the parts they require. Its skilled and dedicated team has in-depth technical knowledge and understanding of a huge range of products from bearings to pneumatics, gearboxes to consumables and everything in between. Going the extra mile is commonplace at Betech. A recent client in Southland with a broken-down machine had their required parts sourced by Betech from Auckland and flown to Dunedin on a same-day flight. Mike then jumped in his car and drove these bearings to his customer in Southland so they could perform the necessary repairs, and have the machine ready for production first thing the following morning. “It’s not about the value of the order, it’s about the value of the long-term relationship we are trying to build with our customers,” Mike says. As well as a comprehensive and high-quality service, competitive pricing is also hugely important to many customers. In order to offer this, Betech aligns itself with a wide range of high-quality suppliers and manufacturers so customers can choose the best option for their application and their budget. Since being established in 2011, Betech has grown from three to 10 staff through their aim to be “not just another supplier”, but to add value and become an essential part of their customers’ businesses. Still growing, Betech is enjoying new customers and also expanding its on-shelf product range to enable a quicker and more comprehensive response to customers. Betech has recently increased its warehouse space by taking advantage of the height of its Harrow Street building. The new shelving has essentially doubled the storage space available and its capacity for on-shelf stock. Betech’s extensive range of products includes many well known brands including NSK Bearings, NORGREN Pneumatics, SEW Gearboxes, OPTIBELT transmission belts, XCEL-ARC welding, to name just a few. They have an extensive network of suppliers both local and worldwide. Betech is proud to support local engineers and industries that are out there doing it in the southern region. “Whether we’re supplying a little O-ring for a hose fitting or a big gearbox to keep a production line going, they are all vital components to keeping these operations running. We are here with the right products and the right advice to make sure our customers get the maximum up-time for their equipment.” 26 Harrow Street, Dunedin 9016 P 03 474 0612 E sales@betech.co.nz W betech.co.nz Distributors of: The best team and the best products for all your Bearings, Power Transmission, Welding and Engineering needs Industrial Power Transmission Specialists We Keep Industry Moving OPTIBELT PRODUCTS ARE USEDWHERE DURABILITY AND UNCOMPROMISED QUALITY ARE REQUIRED www.optibelt.co.nz
