TECHNI Waterjet-ANCA Partnership Consolidates Industry Leadership

11 Nov 11

TECHNI Waterjet’s reputation as technology leader in the Waterjet Cutting industry has received a major boost with the signing of the ANCA Group as their new equity partner.

Darren Reukers, Managing Director of TECHNI Waterjet said, “ANCA will take a 25% share in TECHNI over the next two years with options to develop a closer partnership in the future”. “The strategic alliance builds on TECHNI’s ability to provide leading edge technology as well as the capital to significantly increase production and meet rapidly growing demand for products like the new Quantum ESP™ electric servo pump,” Mr Reukers said.

Mr Reukers added that the choice of partner was an obvious one given the long standing relationship and synergies that already exist between the two companies. ANCA is a world leader in developing CNC technology, and is one of the largest and most respected CNC grinding machine manufacturers.

Established in 1974, the ANCA group is a global company with sales, service and applications resources located around the world, and manufacturing plants in three countries. “The backing of the ANCA group as a global machine tool manufacturer will also help to grow the business, enhance the wider recognition of our products and strengthen and protect our unique Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio,” Mr Reukers said.

Grant Anderson, CEO of the ANCA Group said, “We see our investment in TECHNI Waterjet and their technology as a key strategic decision, which will strengthen and broaden our market, and extend an already mutually beneficial relationship”.

The partnership also enhances TECHNI’s presence and support services in the key markets of the USA and Europe, and provides opportunity and capacity to enter new and emerging markets in Latin America and Asia.

Mr Reukers said, “We have worked together in developing the core software for both the Quantum ESP™, and the PAC-60™ Bevel Cutting Head. This means that we already understand the technology and each other, and shows that we can work together successfully to deliver better outcomes for our customers“. “Our customers can be reassured that TECHNI will continue to apply its strict quality controls and dedication to customer support while being able to meet the needs of higher volume customers”.

Co-founded by Mr Reukers and Glenn Langdon, TECHNI began manufacturing water-jet systems in the early 1990’s, and has released new and innovative products continually. Industry firsts include; Break Away Head, Tech-Sense™ Abrasive Monitoring System, Linear Encoder Feedback, PAC-60™ Bevel Cutting Head, Ezy-Load™ Glass Lifters, Non-contact Garnet Pump and Hopper, Mobile Phone Communications System, Automatic Kerf
Compensation, and the Quantum ESP™.

“Today we are a multi-award winning company, recognised for our innovation, leadership and customer support. “The ANCA partnership is an important next step that will provide many flow on benefits to ANCA, TECHNI, our customers, our suppliers, and our staff,” Mr Reukers said.
