A Midlands-based industrial collective is fighting back from COVID-19 disruption by winning more than £2m of new contracts. The Manufacturing Assembly Network (MAN), which comprises nine subcontract manufacturers and a specialist engineering design agency, has been able to use its expertise in tube manipulation, precision stampings and contract manufacturing to secure new clients in the agriculture, horticulture, healthcare and furniture production sectors.

Birmingham-based Brandauer is among those leading the charge, securing a £500,000 extension to an existing deal with a disposable razor manufacturer in the Middle East. The company secured the work against world-class competition, beating a design and distribution model to produce new tooling and deliver stainless-steel razor blade substrates in volume. The MAN Group employs over 2000 people across 21 factories, boasting nearly £150m of annual sales and export orders to more than 35 countries.
