From Old-School Methods to Modern Fabrication Efficiency

Improving Workshop Efficiency and Quality in a Small Fabrication & Design Business

CUSTOMER

• Jessie from Accent Engineering – Thomastown, Victoria, Australia
• A metal fabrication and design company based in Melbourne, delivering high-quality fabrication and customised metalwork to business customers.
• Fabrication and production manufacturing, including custom and small-run work
• Services include light-gauge metal fabrication, TIG welding, CAD modelling, prototyping, custom production and assembly solutions across sectors such as architecture, construction, manufacturing and industrial work.  
• The company emphasises precision, efficiency and tailored solutions, combining hands-on workshop capabilities with design support (2D & 3D CAD) to ensure functional, cost-effective outcomes. 

THE CHALLENGE

Accent Engineering recognised that their existing workshop setup was limiting efficiency and overall output.

Traditional methods were slowing production and restricting consistency across jobs. As a small business, improving both speed and quality was critical to remaining competitive.

THE CONSTRAINT

The business required:

• A proven solution, not an untested concept
• Confidence in product quality before committing
• A finance option that supported cash flow

With few suppliers in the welding table market, reassurance and credibility were important factors in the decision process.

THE SOLUTION

After researching suppliers online, KO Welding Tables stood out early in the search process.

A key factor in the decision was the ability to view a physical product in use. Visiting the Ballarat facility to inspect the tables firsthand provided clarity on build quality and finish, giving the confidence to proceed.

The availability of finance options further supported the investment decision.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

• Order placed and delivered promptly
• Table installed within a single day
• Put into daily use immediately

The table was integrated into production without disruption.

THE RESULT

Following installation:

• Immediate improvements in workshop efficiency
• Noticeable time savings
• Higher and more consistent fabrication quality

The table is now used daily across both production jobs and custom, small-run items.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

“Our old methods just weren’t efficient enough, and I knew we needed a better setup to lift the quality and speed of our work.”

“What made the difference was that they actually had a product on the floor that I could see.”

“Seeing the build and finish firsthand gave me the confidence to go ahead, and the finance option was a big help.”

“The improvements were obvious almost instantly — better efficiency, noticeable time savings and a clear lift in the quality of the work we’re producing.”

“KO Welding Tables have made the workshop faster, more accurate and far more consistent in quality. It’s been a great investment.”
