Company Announcement - Booyco Engineering has received a repeat order for air conditioning systems from one of Asia’s leading land systems and speciality vehicles companies. The air conditioning systems will be fitted to military vehicles and this order follows a previous successfully executed contract where Booyco Engineering was responsible for the design, development, qualification testing and manufacturing of air conditioning systems for another military vehicle being produced by the same company.
“It’s significant that there were virtually no design changes to the earlier air conditioning system, with only a few small enhancements requested,” Jeremy Pougnet, CEO of Booyco Engineering, says. “This bears testimony to the quality engineering development work carried out on the preceding system, from the first prototype to the pre-production unit, through to successful manufacture and commissioning.”
Booyco Engineering is recognised for its quality design engineering and manufacturing by the range of international customers that continue to place faith in the company with repeat orders. Building on this hard-won reputation, in recent months the company has focused on upgrading its standard work and quality control procedures even further to meet the very high and exacting standards of this First World customer.
Established in 1985, Booyco Engineering is a South African company specialising in the design, development and manufacture of custom made and specialised air conditioning systems for special applications. In recent times, Booyco Engineering has made a significant investment into upgrading its factory, including enhancing the factory layout, facilities, test equipment and staff training in a phased approach. In response to the unprecedented complexity of the specifications and the contractual conditions associated with current orders, the company has also introduced several structural changes with regard to project management and procedures, ensuring that all the other non-hardware deliverables are also met.
Assembly and thermodynamic performance testing is carried out at Booyco Engineering’s dedicated in-house test facility, used to provide clients with tangible proof that the equipment provided performs correctly under simulated design conditions. It is also used to provide the company’s engineering department with a facility to develop and test new designs. The team is accustomed to producing the technical documentation necessary to support the product and to comply with standard military requirements.
