HANSA CHIPPERS
Advertising feature
manufacturer supplies over five countries, and as a testament to their staying-power Hansa has now been manufacturing in New Zealand for over almost 40 years and supplying to Australian dealerships for 25 years.
Following in the footsteps of his father and earning a mechanical engineering degree, Martin Vogel is the current Managing Director of Hansa and has been involved with Hansa from day one. Taking over from his father in 2008 Martin ensures that everyone involved in the business, including the customer, is treated as part of the Hansa family.
Today, its precision engineered brush chippers are among those heralded as the best in the business. Hansa are now about to reach 25,000 chippers made and sold, and stand by their goal to keep customers for a lifetime with dependable chippers they love to use.
Present
Martin Vogel says there has been an increase in demand in both Australia and New Zealand, which he puts down to two factors.
“The market itself is growing in
that people are becoming more aware environmentallyaboutthecostofdisposing
green waste material,” he says.
“The second one is just growth of our
market share in the industry.”
Hansa Chippers also looks to improve
its delivery beyond just product. Learning from its strengths, the Hansa team know customers enjoy being able to deal with manufacturers directly. Listening to its customers is a core part to how its in-house engineering team innovates.
Future
Hansa is expanding. After the recent completion of their new purpose built 3,000m2 building on their 8,500m2 of land, Hansa is well geared to increase production capacity and meet growing demand. Always investing in design and quality, Hansa sees the new site as the next stepping stone
to reach ambitious (yet very achievable) milestones in sales – the first being the completion of their 25,000th chipper which they anticipate to reach in early 2019.
Martin Vogel says: “Hansa has a strong reputation built over the last 35 years and it is our goal to build on this reputation with quality products and service that our customers love to use for a lifetime.
“We have enjoyed seeing the business growandtowatchitmoveinthedirectionit
is going. There is so much satisfaction for us as we do the whole process ourselves from the development to the manufacturing, sales and receipt of feedback.
“For the future, we will continue to focus on core quality which is so important when you are competing in a world market. It’s not about getting every possible customer because you won’t always be able to. It’s about retaining a market share by doing businesssustainablyandplayingourpartin
what is really a niche market.”
The hew headquarters includes
additional factory, storage, service and office spaces. Like the current factory, the new facilities will also include a dedicated powder coating plant, pre-coating treatment facilities and robot welder to offer unmatched accuracy of parts and durability of finish.
