Omer and Ido Wiesenfeld – the 3rd generation of the Wiesenfeld family – have joined Videx Machine Engineering Ltd to strengthen its design, sales and service departments, as the company gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
As well as these new additions to the team, Videx has just completed its three year expansion plan, in which it tripled its engineering staff and doubled its yearly machinery production. This was made possible by converting production departments into assembly halls, while using skilled subcontractors to make the parts that were previously made in-house.
Videx is also continuing to invest in R&D towards the computerisation of all its machines, including automatic thread matching, design of forge lines for short production batches and automation of production lines. These changes became necessary due to lack of skilled operators after the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the trend to return production lines to Europe and the USA.
