MAPAL representation in Argentina: WSM Herramientas
No distance is too far for the tool specialists from Buenos Aires
With WSM Herramientas, MAPAL relies on an experienced local partner. The specialists provide customers with direct, comprehensive and reliable support.
WSM Herramientas based in Buenos Aires is a young, dynamic company that has been the exclusive representative for MAPAL products in Argentina since 2015. The owners Daniel Stephan and Javier F. Molina have worked for the MAPAL Group for a long time and have over 25 years of experience in the precision tool industry. They are both technically minded and highly familiar with the production processes of Argentinian customers. WSM Herramientas takes care of MAPAL's direct customers, mostly automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers, as well as local customers from the fields of machine engineering, aerospace, agriculture, and the hydraulics and pharmaceutical industry. For smaller requirements, the commercial agency keeps a range of the most common MAPAL tools in stock and can serve customers at short notice. When it comes to special projects or commissioning, WSM Herramientas and the experts at MAPAL work closely together.
Personalised customer care
Daniel Stephan is the first port of call for customers in the industrial regions of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe and Mendoza, while Javier F. Molina takes care of customers in the Córdoba and Tucumán provinces. Both attach great importance to providing users with expert support when designing machining processes and commissioning tools. As a result of the geographical size of Argentina, the specialists are often on the road, even driving long distances to provide users with on-site support. They also offer user training and after-sales support. Another service provided is support with the procurement and supply processes for MAPAL products and with imports. Despite their extensive travelling, Daniel Stephan and Javier F. Molina are always available to customers.
Future market Argentina
Argentina is one of the largest economies in South America and is a promising future market for international industry. Numerous vehicle and machine engineering manufacturers with global success operate their own production plants in Argentina. For 40 years, MAPAL has collaborated with expert local partners to support them and local companies.
Sergio Zanfrini took over responsibility for the global distribution sales channel as the new Director of Distribution of the MAPAL Group on 1 September 2024.
