Creating Advantage For a Construction Leader

Written by SLS | January 26, 2016

 

Customer

Sambo Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. is a global leader in civil engineering and construction services. The company builds subway, highway, express railroad, and other infrastructures. Based in Busan, South Korea, the organization also engage in overseas construction projects in Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.



The Challenge

Sambo E&C were previously obtaining SKF bearings from their headquarters in Korea. This meant that the bearings had to be shipped to their Singapore office, which took several weeks and incurred additional shipping costs.

 

The SLS Solution:

As the authorized distributor of SKF in Singapore, SLS was able to provide SKF bearings direct from Singapore. With close consultation with the Sambo E&C procurement team, SLS was also able to offer bearings specifically suited for the tough operating conditions of the machinery where the bearings were used in diaphragm wall machines and bored piling machines. SLS's pricing and after-sales service also provided a better alternative to the previous solution.

Besides bearings, SLS also supplies Enerpac hydraulic products, O-rings and sealants to Sambo E&C.

Customer Benefits:

Sambo E&C was able to shorten its lead-time of product delivery.

The high quality of the SKF bearings also meant longer bearing life and contributed to longer machinery uptime. Costs were also saved as bearings no longer needed to be shipped from overseas. SLS and Sambo E&C has since established a long-standing relationship.
