Once again this year, Vuototecnica is closed for summer vacation from August 3 through August 26. Production, shipping, and customer service will be suspended for three weeks, as is common practice for most of the Italian manufacturing sector. Yet, without fail, it is precisely just before August that the most urgent requests come in: unexpected breakdowns, orders postponed until the last minute, and maintenance that people want to get done “before everything shuts down.”
The summer shutdown is often the only real window of opportunity to work on systems that can never be shut down for long enough during the rest of the year. Replacing a vacuum generator, inspecting suction cups, or overhauling a system that has been running nonstop for months are tasks that August makes possible precisely because the production line is already shut down for vacation.
In any case, it’s best to plan ahead. Those who have maintenance or replacements scheduled to be completed before the break would be wise not to wait until the last few weeks. Orders have processing and shipping lead times that, if squeezed to the last minute, risk conflicting with the company closing.
Anyone who needs to order components, schedule service, or simply seek advice on the most suitable solution before the holidays is invited to contact Vuototecnica as soon as possible via the website www.vuototecnica.net.
