What our customers say

The clearest measure of our machines is how they perform on real projects. Across housing, commercial and modular builds, customers say they see faster results, better accuracy and improved margins.

We have picked out a selection of comments from our customers to share with you here, but for more examples and greater detail refer to our Project Showcases and our SMART BUILD SPOTLIGHT articles or YouTube channel.


“The machines are part of our business. Critical to our business. We don't have a business without the Howick.”


“A big part of choosing Howick as our choice for the LGS was the fact that the feedback from the technical support was superior to others...which we've seen firsthand. We've had multiple trips down, and they're always on the end of the phone.”


“The real winner for us with Howick was that you can communicate with them from multiple software platforms… We wanted to not have our potential for innovation stifled or encumbered by having to communicate through one means with the machines.”


“It’s reassuring for a design manufacturer like ARKEO SYSTEM to be certain that what is designed by our design department will be manufactured by our production department just as it was designed. This allows us to highlight the precision of the FRAMA 3200™ machine.”


“Besides the convenience and ease of use, the Howick machine is also immensely fast at printing and [cold forming] the steel we require. It can contribute to not just one project but multiple projects in the span of an hour or minutes.”


“Over time, Howick machinery has proven itself to be more accurate and precise, operating at a faster speed and working with more efficiency as opposed to its competitors in the market... The technology and parts are of a higher standard than most, providing us with reassurance every time we turn the machine on and commence fabricating.”


“We couldn’t be happier with Howick as an innovation partner in designing and delivering light gauge systems.”


“This framing [telescopic panels manufactured by the X-TENDA™ 3600] arrives small to fit through tight corridors and elevators then expands when it gets to its intended location... it can fit within any geometry. This is a huge time saver. No cutting onsite required. It can work with any fit out to increase safety and efficiency... It’s really powerful and our team love it. It makes their job easier and faster and they love that it’s very green. There’s not much waste in the material you produce.”


“Our biggest change in the last few years has been our investment in three Howick machines, which has revolutionised the production process for us.”


“The machines just run so cleanly, and they’re so reliable. They’re absolutely beautiful machines. We have a lot of stuff to worry about, and that’s not one of them, which is so nice.”


“It’s been a real positive experience. It’s good dependable equipment... The technology that y'all put into them has been phenomenal.”


“We ran over 1.3 million pounds of steel (five months’ run time) through the FRAMA™ 5600 without major downtime. That is what you call reliability through superior engineering. Way to go Howick. Thank you.”
