Why? What?

Why? In last 6 years we sold double the amount of WT-3 and OT-3 machines over the previous 2 models versions (6 years before) However… the amount of customers who are preferring a used Haeger or manual Haeger over a technology solution is still too big. The reasons for this have been outlined in 2007 and we have been working since then to come with this new product which is ‘filling the gap’.

What. Is the Gap and How is it being closed What? Is the Gap and How is it being closed? Improvement areas -4e Product Line. A. Reliability of the Automatic Fastener Feeding B.
