The
Mission
Statement
of
Redco
Products
and
the
Simple
Assembly
Solutions
Design
Team
(SAS)
“The
Simple
Assembly
Solutions
Design
Team
at
Redco
can
design
and
build
anything,
providing
it
is
innovative,
commercially
viable,
and
can
be
protected
by
International
Patents.”
The
cleverness
of
our
patents
enables
a
very
simple
assembly
procedure
at
Distributor
level,
with
no
welding
or
powder
coating
during
or
after
manufacture.
All
the
products
can
be
easily
assembled
by
semi
skilled
labour,
using
pre
powder-coated
profiles.
The
savings
in
labour
and
turnaround
costs
are
substantial,
meaning
our
Distributors
can
supply
stylish,
high
demand
products
at
very
competitive
prices.
This
statement
is
backed
up
by
a
web
of
sister
companies
and
contracted
divisions
involved
in
engineering,
plastics,
milling,
powder-coating
and
marketing,
who
support
the
overall
concept.
Engineering
Division
The
Engineering
Division
is
not
only
busy
developing
new
proto-types,
but
is
busy
designing
and
manufacturing
sophisticated
machines/presses
that
are
involved
in
or
support
the
Redco
patents.
These
machines/presses
are
used
to
simplify
assembly
at
the
Distributor
level.
Each
press
is
unique
and
would
normally
cost
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
build,
but
because
they
are
manufactured
in
large
runs
the
Engineering
Division
can
supply
them
to
our
Distributors
world-
wide
for
a
fraction
of
the
real
cost.
The
Engineering
Division
also
supervises
our
Machining
Department,
which
machines
100’s
of
tonnes
of
aluminium
profiles
every
year,
using
the
latest
CMC
machines,
operated
by
state
of
the
art
robots.
Metal
Extrusion
Division
There
are
to
date
in
excess
of
450
different
aluminium
profiles
the
division
has
designed
and
milled,
with
more
arriving
each
day
to
support
the
new
product
releases.
Plastics
Division
The
same
happens
in
the
plastics
division.
Hundred’s
of
expensive
moulds
have
been
built
at
a
fraction
of
the
normal
cost
that
an
outsourced
plastics
company
would
charge.
All
plastic
parts
are
over-designed
to
stand
the
test
of
time
in
outside
environments,
including
extreme
sun
exposure,
high
temperatures
and
salinity.
Powder
Coating
Division
Sahara
Loc-coat™
The
Research
Team
is
very
active
in
this
area.
Normal
powder-coating
has
always
had
its
limitations,
so
through
extensive
testing
a
new
Super
Durable
powder-coat
with
a
textured
finish,
called
Sahara
Loc-coat™
was
developed.
This
new
Super
Durable
powder-coating
was
first
tested
with
excellent
results
on
a
6
star
hotel
in
Dubai
-
Burj
Al
Arab
(often
seen
on
the
TV
show
Getaway).
Normal
powder-coating
would
not
have
stood
the
test
of
time
due
to
extreme
fluctuations
in
temperature,
sun
exposure
and
salinity
in
this
Gulf
location.
Sahara
Loc-Coat™
is
30%
tougher
than
normal
powder-
coating
and
carries
a
normal
industry
guarantee,
even
in
beach
front
locations.
Sahara
Loc-coat™
being
more
expensive
than
normal
powder-coating
meant
it
could
only
be
used
in
large
projects
to
be
commercially
viable.
Due
to
the
fact
that
all
our
companies
collectively
mill
hundred’s
of
tonnes
of
aluminium
profiles
per
month,
Sahara
Loc-coat™
has
become
commercially
viable.
Six
colours
are
now
available
that
match
most
existing
window,
door,
guttering
and
fascia
colours.
Special
colours
can
be
developed
for
large
projects.
To
provide
continuity
we
have
a
fully
automated
powder-coating
line, painting
the
six
Sahara
Loc-coat™
colours
on
all
our
aluminium
profiles.
A
second
powder
coating
line
is
planned
for
introduction
in
2009
to
meet
the
escalating
demand.
The
commercial
benefits
of
Sahara
Loc-coat
are
enormous.
Sahara
Loc-coat™
is
exclusive
to
our
Distributors
world-wide,
at
very
attractive
rates.
