As we head towards Christmas and think about a well-earned break, I can’t help but reflect on the work done in 2021 and the wonderful support received from our customer/partners. Spida again demonstrated our machinery at BCMC – and were embraced by our customers and new friends to discuss all things machinery. We said goodbye to some special employees and welcomed several incredibly talented new staff across the world. Suffice to say we have had another incredibly productive year – with innovation for machinery and materials handling taking Spida to another awesome level of productivity, whilst still supplying all the products that Spida is so well known for. Automated Saws take the prize for supply in 2021 as customers embrace the labor and cutting time savings this technology gives. Coming in a very close second is our truss production technology – table presses and automated jigging with roller plants have been a popular request and our customers have enjoyed increased production with more market share reported as a consequence – a win, win for manufacturers in our industry really. Check out one of our customers talking about his Roller Plant purchase and transition: SPIDA Roller Plant–YouTube.
BCMC 2021
Spida Machinery and all the staff from Spida USA were so thrilled to be back at BCMC in Omaha, demonstrating our machines for all the visitors this year. SBCA certainly organized a great show and it was wonderful to see lots of old friends in attendance. We have started planning a bigger, better stand for 2022 with new product, labor savings, optimization, safety, and efficiencies being at the forefront of display items. We had lots of interest in our table presses and floor production solutions at the show and we are working our way through supplying all orders received as we speak.
The customer opinion
Overwhelmingly, customers at the show and those that are in contact regularly talk to us about bringing more efficiencies into their business. Saws are always a hot topic and Spida saws – no matter the size – are built on certain criteria: savings on labor, safety, reliability, and economics. Let’s take part of the range, for example. Our PieceMaker, Tornado, and Sprint M600 started with one thought: jobs require precision, but expert staff are hard to find. Meanwhile builders want a quicker turn around from order to delivery and workplace safety is a must for the fabricator. The solution offered is a no-brainer. All three models focus on precise cutting and all offer the fabricator alternatives with size and price range, and safety is also paramount with enclosed saws and intelligent rollers.

Cutting is great, but what about pressing?
Reinventing and renewing a truss factory’s old press table with the latest automated puck position system, compatible with any software, means your search for new automation within an existing table at a realistic price ends with a Jig-It machinery retro-fit option from Spida. As always, new tables and new presses, both large and small, built to your requirements or straight off the shelf are our continued offer to the truss market.
Framing Solutions for you as well
Embraced around the world are our leaner framing lines, allowing the factory to repurpose some of those frame line workers elsewhere and often exceeding expectations with output (linear feet per man/per hour), achieving increased productivity and increased revenue. With our Raked Wall Extruder or Common Wall Extruder (where we start the frame building process), frame line, sheathing line, squaring tables etc., we have some of the most innovative and quality built machinery on the market. Partnering with our customer to provide an absolute fit for their new machinery requirements is what we do, because we love to provide what you need in your plant.

Finally, a Christmas Wish
From our Spida family to yours, we would like to wish you and your family the most wonderful Christmas. Enjoy your break and we hope to see you refreshed and raring to go in 2022 to what is shaping up to be a very exciting year. Happy holidays everyone!
