At Stratco, we’re committed to continually investing in new technology and processes that help us deliver quality products with greater speed and efficiency. We’re proud to announce that our Gepps Cross flashing line has now been fully automated, following a significant upgrade designed to enhance both production capacity and service delivery.
This milestone reflects our focus on providing customers with the best possible experience, from material availability and product precision to lead times and order convenience.
What’s New With The Upgrade?
The investment in automation at our Gepps Cross manufacturing facility introduces several exciting improvements to our flashing production process:
- Coil Farm stocked with COLORBOND® steel Coil
Our upgraded Coil Farm ensures we always have a large supply of COLORBOND® steel coils on hand. This means no waiting around for materials - your orders can move into production straight away. - Blanking Line for precision cutting
The new Blanking Line is all about accuracy and consistency. By automating the cutting process, we’re able to achieve a precise finish every time, reducing waste and improving overall product quality. - Automated Dual Folder for faster turnaround
The Automated Dual Folder increases our production capacity dramatically. This advanced equipment allows us to produce more flashings in less time, ensuring we keep up with demand and deliver on tight deadlines.
Next-Day Flashing Service - Orders Until 5pm
One of the most exciting outcomes of this upgrade is the introduction of next-day flashing service. Customers can now place flashing orders right up until 5 pm, and we’ll have them ready the very next day.
This new capability offers:
- Greater flexibility for your projects.
- Reduced downtime waiting for materials.
- Confidence in meeting tight construction schedules.
We know how important it is for builders, roofers, and contractors to keep projects moving, and this new service ensures you can rely on Stratco to deliver on time, every time.
Why This Matters For Our Customers
These upgrades aren’t just about new machines; they’re about making your job easier. By streamlining our processes and boosting capacity, we’re able to:
- Provide a faster, more reliable service.
- Guarantee consistently high-quality flashings.
- Give you more certainty when planning and scheduling your work.
It’s all part of our commitment to supporting our customers with the tools, materials, and service they need to succeed.
