How RMS Manufacturing Internalised Excellence with Koenig Machinery to Drive Greater Control, Efficiency, and Production Confidence

The Foundation of Growth

In the high-stakes world of industrial electrical projects, precision and reliability are not just requirements, they are the bedrock of the business. RMS Manufacturing, a specialist in electrical control cabinets and complex industrial installations, built its reputation on delivering high-quality commissioned works for the manufacturing sector.

However, as their project pipeline grew, the company’s leadership identified a critical vulnerability: their total reliance on external suppliers for laser-cut components.

The Challenges of Outsourcing

Operating without in-house cutting capabilities was beginning to limit the company's potential. RMS Manufacturing faced a two-fold problem with their existing supply chain: unreliability in delivery schedules and inconsistent quality of incoming materials.

In a sector where project milestones are rigid, downstream delays from external laser cutters directly threaten their ability to meet customer deliverables. To maintain their standards, the Managing Director knew they needed to reclaim control over their supply chain and eliminate the margins being paid to third parties.

A Data-Driven Solution

The path to Koenig Machinery was paved by industry peer confidence. A colleague and existing Koenig customer shared their success with a 3kW LF3015GA Pro, providing RMS Manufacturing with a real-world case study on the machine's impact on profitability and production.

They approached the investment with rigorous due diligence. Their Managing Director focused heavily on the commercial business case, requiring detailed data on:

  • Total cost of ownership and operational expenses (gas, consumables, and service).
  • Expected productivity rates and machine utilisation.
  • Realistic timeframes for delivery, installation, and operator training.

Koenig’s consultative approach met this need for transparency. By providing precise timing estimates and cutting the customer’s own technical files in the showroom, Koenig proved the GA Pro’s speed and quality.

The Koenig Partnership

The final solution was a comprehensive manufacturing cell tailored to RMS Manufacturing’s professional environment. This included the 3kW LF3015GA Pro for sheet metal and a K0604 CO2 laser specifically for Traffolyte engraving.

Understanding the urgency, Koenig expedited the process, moving from the initial deposit to a fully installed and operational machine in a matter of weeks. Key to the decision was Koenig’s local Australian support infrastructure, ensuring ongoing technical assistance to protect their investment.

Results and Sustained Success

Since the installation, the feedback from RMS Manufacturing  has been one of total satisfaction. "Delighted" was the word used by Alex Coslovich (Managing Director) to describe the transition. The machines have achieved the anticipated ROI and payback targets, largely due to the seamless integration into their workflow.

The partnership has also evolved through data. RMS Manufacturing interest in sheet utilisation and consumption led Koenig to unlock historical performance data within the machine's software—a feature Koenig now promotes to all customers to help them track operational costs in real-time. Today, they actively showcase their new capabilities on social media, using their internalised laser cutting as a major selling point to demonstrate their commitment to quality and rapid project turnaround.
