Contined investment in the best new manufacturing equipment
Well what a year 2011 has been.
We have had periods of being very busy and of being quiet during 2011. We have kept moving forward with this new website and blog which has been a big step for us from our old static website. We have tried to offer more than just a few images of sheet metal work and sheet metal machines and include more detailed information on processes and tooling as well as data to help you when designing new sheet metal components. The inclusion of video on the website has been mentioned by several customers as of interest as they are too far from us to pop in and see for themselves what we do.
We have also not stopped investing in V and F Sheet Metal, we have added a second brand new Trumpf 7036 CNC press brake this year to go with the new one we installed in May 2010. They are both proving to be a good move as they have both enabled us to turn sheet metal work with bent features around quicker for customers with their shorter set up times over our older machines.
Looking forward to 2012 I can see that we will continue to keep up to date with the latest software to enable us to maintain communication with our customers and ensure we have the most efficient nesting software for laying out sheet metal CNC punching. We continue to invest in new tooling to maintain the quality of the CNC punched and CNC bent components we are producing. What will happen to the markets in the UK and Europe is beyond our ability to influence but what we can do is to keep ourselves as flexible and responsive to our customers needs as possible and be ready for whatever they throw at us.
Have a Merry Christmas and hopefully a prosperous 2012.
