Head of Maxitec's service division, Mr Kevin Bentrup, says that South Australia has been a largely under-serviced market even though it has many companies that have quietly and efficiently taken on sheet metal machinery.

"So now was the right time for us to make the close association with a proven local specialist to properly service this significant manufacturing region," said Mr Bentrup.

"APC Integration is well versed on Siemens control technology, so already they have enough knowledge to cover about 90% of our applications area.

"Following on from our recent move into the Victoria market, expanding into South Australia was a logical step in our commitment to service every sector of Australia and New Zealand.

APC Integration specialises in design and integration of process monitoring and control systems in production and logistics applications.  The company has extensive experience working in the following industries: steel sheet and coil, rail and road transport, power generation, fresh produce processing, water management, mining, automotive and defence.

APC Integration has an impressive business record gained by working with many successful and diverse organisations for over two decades.
