SigmaNEST Response to High Steel Prices
Bob Forester of Farwest Steel
Steel price pressure relief is at hand. SigmaNEST® nesting software is helping steel service centers deal with the dramatic increase in steel prices. The West Coast has predominantly felt the impact of the high steel prices.
In a recent interview with Bob Forester, of Farwest Steel, he said, "SigmaNEST is playing a major role in our effort to keep prices competitive." He was referring to the ability of SigmaNEST software to create tight nests to minimize "drop" and thereby get the most possible out of the steel investment.
Referring to Bob Forester's comments, Glenn Binder, Marketing Director at SigmaTEK, said that SigmaNEST for Steel Service Centers is the most advanced profile cutting CAD/CAM optimization system available in the USA today. Companies are benefiting by saving top dollar through material utilization using the new nesting algorithms. Besides these savings, remnant reduction through better management is also allowing these companies to free up direct capital in the business.
Bob Forester also complimented SigmaTEK on their outstanding customer support and training, saying "The support and training that we have received far exceeds our past experiences and expectations with other solutions."
