Before we turn our full attention towards the sustainability element , we ’ re first keen to learn further about the scope of the wider business . “ Our activities are divided into three business lines : abrasives , services and complementary products , and technologies ,” Bill details .
“ We have a complete range of metallic medias , including cast steel shot and grit abrasives , cast iron and stainless-steel shots , and cut wire peening media – just to name a few .
“ Our abrasives are unique thanks to our highly skilled and aptly deployed technical support team ; an exceptional range of premium products are also available for high performance blasting , and Winoa ’ s extensive sales and distribution network means we can export to more than 100 countries , offering a vast array of customers global availability and security when it comes to supply .
“ These activities are mainly focused on surface treatment solutions , though ,” Bill adds . “ There are , in fact , many applications . But , in the field , these will typically include sandblasting , desanding , and descaling foundry parts ; surface preparation before coating or paint application ; plus shot peening and granite cutting .”
Sustainability is the buzzword on everyone ’ s lips . For Bill , it ’ s no different . “ We have embarked on an ambitious program to reduce the energy intensity of our production ,” he reveals .
“ Whether major investments , such as innovative heat treatment , or smaller more modest ones , such as the installation of LEDs in our workshops , we are utilizing all options . Every degree , every kilowatt : it all counts towards our goal .
