Project: GATX Wagon Re-Line
|
|
Background:
- During a site visit, the team from Konnect Fastening Systems Townsville witnessed 100+ rolls of thermal blanket in use. Further discussions about the product highlighted some issues the customer was experiencing
|
|
The Goals:
- Offer an alternate thermal product that eliminated the customer’s issues of product brittleness and installer itchiness.
|
|
The Approach:
- The Townsville team assessed the specifications of the current product and sourced suitable alternatives. Samples and costings of the Rhino Thermal Blanket were submitted to the customer for review.
|
|
 |
The Results:
- The Rhino Thermal Blanket provided a much firmer wrap with less compression
- More effective thermal break, with longer heat retention and a more consistent finish
- Cost benefits were realised in switching over.

Customer Testimonial:
“The price was better, but above that the result was significantly better. It held its heat for longer giving us a better finish.
The boys also mentioned it was less itchy.”
