A customer explained to me yesterday how he realized he needed a better way to stretch wrap pallet loads, found the TAB Wrapper Tornado, and placed an order all in less than 24 hours. Then came the question about lead times and I was happy to report lead times for our orbital wrappers have never increased beyond the four to eight week range even during the peak of the supply chain disruptions.
Made in USA Speeds Lead Times
One of the reasons we’ve maintained our quick lead times is our pallet wrapping machines are made in USA – in our Reading, PA headquarters, in fact. We don’t have to wait for imported parts and we’re not delayed when cargo ships get stalled at the Port of Los Angeles. We do the design, engineering, and manufacturing in-house using our own laser cutting, machining, and metal fabrication systems. We don’t lose time sending drawings or parts to outside vendors and waiting, and waiting, and waiting for them to come back – hopefully on spec.
Our company is also a metalworking manufacturer so we stock sheet metal and other materials in large quantities as standard procedure. Our racks are almost always filled top to bottom and we have decades-long relationships with multiple material sources so our lead times won’t be delayed for lack of material.
Orbital Wrapper Designed for Fast Delivery
Highly complex packaging machinery is often difficult and time-intensive to manufacture. But the most useful machinery is usually elegant in its simplicity. That’s how we see the TAB Wrapper Tornado. The design is clever but it’s based on a simple engineering concept so there’s very little to go wrong and it’s relatively easy for us to build in a short time. And since a number of the people on our manufacturing team have been with us for many years, they know exactly how to build these wrapping machines as designed every time. We just don’t get the defects in production that would take time for rework and it works as intended so we don’t get a lot of service calls that would take staff away from manufacturing.
We understand that once you realize our orbital wrapper is going to save you time and money, you want it right away so we’re doing everything we can to deliver as fast as possible. To check up to the minute lead times on orders submitted today, call Andy Brizek at 610.921.0012.
