he first Flymo mower was made in the mid-1960s by Karl Dahlman, a Swedish inventor who took inspiration from the hovercraft that had been invented in

the 1950s. Karl Dahlman won a Gold Medal at the Brussels Inventors’ Fair in 1964 for his revolutionary design of the hover mower.

THE HOVER PRINCIPLE The principle behind the Flymo air cushion lawnmower, is based on the Hovercraft, and although relatively simple in theory, is a lot harder to put into practice. The drive shaft of the motor powers a fan which is attached above the cutting blade. The impeller draws air from above the cutting housing which creates pressure on the underside, lifting the mower from the lawn.

Mowing on a cushion of air makes gardening quicker and easier. This unique design allows the user to mow in any direction, over flat paths, under bushes, down

slight slopes, and around trees. When the lawn is cut, it

The need to sustain this collaboration between research and the cement and concrete industry is essential because without such mutual interaction both industry and research will be impoverished,” he added.

QUALITY IS OUR PASSION Torrenti products adhere to best-in-class manufacturing standards. Our products perform because we utilise some of the best possible technologies, quality control, testing and production protocols in the world. We check each product at every single step of the manufacturing process!

Torrenti is an expertly engineered and manufactured range of brass or PVC valves, taps and fittings. Each product has been tried and tested for Africa’s harsh climate and project requirements.

SERVICE, MAINTENANCE AND RUNNING TIPS • Always read the instruction manual carefully • Before starting the generator, always ensure that there is sufficient oil and fuel in the machine.

Generators generally do not come with oil already filled. Only use SAE30 graded oil and unleaded petrol (for petrol models) and low sulphur diesel (for diesel models).

• Do not use dirty fuel or oil in the generator • Always place the generator on a flat surface when pouring in the oil and fuel • If you have an electric start generator, check that the battery is fully charged before starting • Ensure that the choke is on when starting the generator, once started, switch the choke to the ‘off’ position • Never connect appliances before starting your generator, always start the generator first, and then

DRIVING WHOLESALE SOLUTIONS

• Disconnect appliances before switching off your generator • Switch off the fuel tap prior to turning off the generator, to allow the fuel in the carburetor to be used • It is recommended that the first service should be done after 20 running hours and thereafter at 50-hour intervals • Always operate your generator in a well-ventilated area, as toxic fumes are emitted from

Finished goods stock.

EUREKA - I found it! - what thousands of consumers feel when finding exactly what they need.

Total fastener sales seldom exceed 2-3% of a store’s turnover, yet one in four hardware customers can have fastener items in their basket.

A customer buying paint, power tools, or building materials will easily leave empty-handed if the size fastener needed is not in stock.

Hardware categories have different, but similar, ways to be bought, priced, and displayed. Fasteners are more complex, needing a specialised approach to handle so many types and sizes – and the potentially high cost of being out of stock of one.

Five factories situated in Roodepoort.

ONE DAY LONG, LONG AGO a hardware store owner, realised the time spent opening boxes to help

a customer find a screw, hook, or anchor brings in very little revenue.

Self-service was needed – including range, quantities, packaging plus an intuitive merchandising system.

After thirteen years running hardware shops Hendrik Marais, started EUREKA in 1985, at first to supply neighbouring shops, then further afield. Improving systems and range all the time, orange and brown bags became synonymous with fasteners and EUREKA the go-to brand.

IT IS IN THE DATA To have enough, but not too much, of a very wide range of small, inexpensive items needed a databased approach. Fortunately, Marais had a background in statistics which was put to good use.

80-Vehicle fleet distributes 800t monthly.

EUREKA’s now-famous stock management system was created and honed to simultaneously optimise customer satisfaction, return on investment, and GP per square meter. Top three of all categories for most EUREKA stockists. Instead of fasteners being a service line, they now are a key line.

Over 40 well-qualified EUREKA representatives visit stockists, input stock counts on laptops - then the unique EUREKA algorithm calculates an optimal order.

Once approved the order is sent electronically to the EUREKA warehouse to be picked and delivered by EUREKA’s 80-vehicle fleet within a few days.

Pressing bodies for locks.

Plastic bottle manufacturing.

Merchandising done by the EUREKA drivers keeps display stands spick & span - stockists save time and labour.

SO EASY TO FIND Displayed by type and size on stands, informative header boards and splitters guide customers to quickly find exactly the required item among the almost 3,000 stock keeping units (SKU’s).

SA builders and contractors use thousands of tons of EUREKA fasteners every year – they love the larger pack sizes and cost savings.

LOCAL IS LEKKER EUREKA employs close to 1000 people in five factories in Roodepoort.

Products still imported come straight from factories in China, India, or Taiwan - no middlemen.

Imported stock levels are kept high, normally 5-10 month’s sales for supply security.

EUREKA is proud of its heritage and grateful to all the customers who partnered with the company over the years, many for the full 37 years of orange and brown.
