Celebrate our success openly in the marketplace (With all stakeholders) Crankshaft re-manufacturing and re-conditioning ( grinding & polishing ) It operated out of the premises of Nelson Motors in Berea Road, Durban, primarily carrying out metal stitching of cracks on castings in the automotive, non-automotive and various fields of industry. A family member assumed the position of the sleeping partner whilst GMC retained full management operation of CRS in Durban, due to GMC having been extensively trained in metal stitching and crack repairs by the family member in Johannesburg the previous nine months. This resulted in a far more capital intensive operation. It proved successful and the directors further enlarged the premises by 700 sq. These enlargements allowed for the expansion into the automotive and general engineering markets in February 1983, incorporating re-boring, line boring and crankshaft grinding etc. This expansion phase into full engine re-coditioning and general engineering was the most expensive and resulted in a marked increase in overheads. Staff employment rose steadily over the expansion phases and had, by this time, peaked at about 32 full time employees. GMC still retained full management operation in Durban co-ordinating and controlling all sectors of administration, marketing and production. This precipitated the purchase of additional machinery with a simultaneous increase in staff to utilize such machinery. Due to the diverse services that the company offers, CRS did not tend to feel the effects of economic recessions quite as badly as some other companies. The company has always been profitable and utilized these profits to plough back into the company in order to facilitate expansion and growth. A range of automotive machines was developed by GMC and GTL intended initially for the local market. These products have been marketed under the name of M.D.M. During the last 16 years CRS has maintained and re-conditioned all its machines and replaced all outdated machines and tooling with new technology. Employee and staff training has and will always be a high priority of CRS in its quest to deliver the best workmanship and service to its most valuable assets, its clients and associates. It has been agreed by management and employees that the potential for the company to grow under the present product and service range is huge, and the company has spare capacity at every workstation thus not having to purchase any other capital equipment and tooling in order to grow the company in a normal nine hour shift. We also agree that should the need arise in the future, management will consider putting on a second shift to further increase customer satisfaction and machine utilization.
