By early 2025, Solico Metal was handling a project volume that exceeded the capacity of its existing machines. To resolve this, the management engaged PassX Industrial Solutions to analyze project requirements, profile sizes, and evaluate multiple machine vendors.
As a trusted partner with access to over 100 vetted international suppliers, PassX identified and secured one of the most advanced combo beam-and-sheet laser machines from a well-known, pre-inspected supplier. PassX negotiated the best deal among all vendors, ensuring not only the highest-quality machine but also the best price—backed by lifetime service support.Capacity Increase & Have a Backup to Both Tube Laser and Sheet Laser
