Leussink has been appointed the sole distributor for Omega Sinto Foundry Machinery for Australia and New Zealand.
Omega Sinto is a global manufacturer of chemically bonded sand equipment used in the foundry/metal casting industry. Originally established in the UK, Omega Sinto now operates around the world offering a wide range of products which includes sand mixers, mould-handling equipment, core-making machines, shakeouts, sand reclamation plants, coating plants, and more.
Leussink Sales and Marketing Manager, Stuart Ward, says that the partnership with Omega Sinto takes Leussink into a new area of Australian manufacturing. “Under our new partnership, we will supply Omega Sinto’s equipment off-the-shelf, but provide installation and modifications where required,” he said. “After joining Leussink last year I began to look at new business opportunities and approached Omega Sinto. My professional background is in the foundry industry so it made sense for me to look at that area.”
“At the time I began speaking with them about fabrication and engineering work, the local business manager they had in place had decided to retire so they needed new representation in Australia and New Zealand. It fell into place from there,” added Ward.
Omega Sinto has almost 40 years of experience in the foundry equipment manufacturing industry, specialising in chemically bonded mould production equipment.
The Australian metal casting/foundry industry produces iron, steel, and non-ferrous product for every major industry, including rail, defence, mining, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, water, automotive, health and energy.
“At Leussink we don’t just sell products and walk away. We work with our clients to make sure the equipment we provide works for them by tailoring a solution to their needs and providing onsite visits and training sessions.
“With the Omega Sinto products added to our range will work with clients to make recommendations about which item will suit their needs, as well as undertake modifications in our Illawarra state-of-the-art workshop,” Ward said.
