Background

STE FEKIH is a long-standing metal fabrication enterprise in Tunisia, serving infrastructure, drainage, and slope reinforcement projects across North Africa. As demand for gabion-based erosion control and flood protection grows, the client aimed to establish an in-house gabion mesh production facility.

 Project Scope

To support upcoming public infrastructure projects—including slope protection in mountainous areas and flood management channels—STE FEKIH needed a high-efficiency production line for various mesh sizes and wire gauges.

 Client Needs & Challenges

• Technical Challenges:
  First-time adoption of automated gabion mesh systems required compatibility with Tunisian standards, ease of use, and multi-spec production capacity.

• Business Requirements:
  A low-maintenance, high-speed machine capable of producing reliable, corrosion-resistant mesh for the growing construction demand in the region.

 Our Solution

• Tailored Equipment Package:
  Delivered a fully customized gabion mesh weaving line with feeding, twisting, cutting, and rolling systems—compatible with Tunisian voltage and safety standards.

• Localized Configuration:
  French-language control panel interface and modular system design ensured usability and long-term maintainability.

Implementation

• Installation & Commissioning:
  Our team provided remote guidance for installation and calibration. The machine was up and running within three weeks of delivery.

• Training & After-Sales Support:
  Provided multilingual manuals, troubleshooting documentation, and established a dedicated support channel for ongoing technical assistance.

 Results & Feedback

• Performance:
  The client achieved stable, high-output production for local government projects. Gabion products were successfully deployed in several slope and drainage reinforcement jobs.

• Client Testimonial:

  “The automation and precision helped us enter a new market segment with confidence. We appreciate the fast delivery and responsive support.”
