Growth through Innovation
“New
technology is
common,
new thinking
is rare.”
Sir Peter Blake |
The experience and know how gained over the years has resulted in a strong engineering foundation, important partnerships and a “can do” mentality.
The development and commercialisation of new innovative technology
based products, in addition to our existing stainless steel fabrication
and building products businesses, holds the key to our future growth.
Our pioneering heritage, engineering a lot with little and translating
necessity into innovation has become our focus.
To foster this culture we have initiated an innovation pipeline, where
ideas are encouraged, gathered and put through a selection process that
ensures that the best get the resources needed to create real value.
Mercer Technologies will be the technology arm of the Mercer Group and
will initiate, develop and market value added technology products.
While not every idea will lead to immediate increased sales, it will add
to our long term goal of strengthening our design and engineering
capabilities, offering more to our customers, shareholders and employees.
Through this approach we have recently developed or acquired innovative
technology in Evaporation and Hi-per jet washing which are both patented
internationally. We are in the process of developing a number of other new
innovative technologies, solutions or equipment and identifying applications.
To this end we are working closely with customers, research institutes and
inventors to identify innovation opportunities. |
