Mr Tung, having already taken consideration from the operation and service of a Thermatool Alpha Shear System and Welder installed in 2011 expressed his future intention to use European built Thermatool equipment in his tube, pipe and profile production.

This considerable investment will span a five year plan for which Thermatool have committed to provide complete support, service, spares and on-going training of the WEMPCO personnel in their Ikeja and Ibafo factories.
