At Abdie Solutions, problem solving is at the heart of what we do. Clients come to us with challenges that are often complex, sometimes unusual and occasionally dating from decades gone by. Our aim is always the same: find a practical, efficient solution.
A client got in touch asking about a Samuel Strapping Systems machine dating back to 1982. Despite its age, the machine was still plant-critical, and the client needed two replacement units. At first glance, it looked unlikely. The machine was designed over forty years ago and the original manufacturer no longer operates.
That didn’t stop us though! We love a challenge, and set to work. Through our network, we traced the intellectual property to its current owner and identified a contact who had worked for Samuel Strapping. His knowledge of the machines and access to spares made him an ideal partner for advice and support. Alongside, we spoke with other industry specialists who shared examples of how similar operations are handling their bulk packaging today.
The solution was simple: we put our client in touch with the right people, giving them fast access to the answers they needed.
This story is a perfect example of what Abdie Solutions is all about. We don’t shy away from unusual or specialist requests. Whether it’s designing new bulk handling solutions, refurbishing old equipment, or using our network to track down obscure machinery, our focus is always the same: delivering practical engineering solutions that make a difference.
