In addition to supplying the equipment, TECHFAB INTERNATIONAL offers our clients training on the installation and maintenance of any of the products we supply, or any of the components we install and commission. In this way, we aim to ensure that the products we supply are utilised to their full potential by the users and remain in service for as long as possible

The training we offer can be done at the factory (to a select group of technical personnel nominated by the client), during the Factory Acceptance Testing of equipment before delivery. However, we prefer to have an engineer from our factory travel to the final destination of the equipment, on completion of delivery, in order to address a larger group of technical personnel.

Through the training programs we offer, we aim to ensure that the technology and skills are transferred to our clients’ personnel who are responsible to support the supplied products after delivery.
