A Black Country manufacturer has signalled its intentions for future growth by placing a major order.
Clamason Industries, which produces precision metal components and assemblies, announced a £1m total project investment with Bruderer UK to secure its largest-ever press that will be used to target up to £6m of new orders.
The specialist supplier to the automotive, medical and building products sectors installed the 300 ton Zani Motion Master press in June and is hoping that the speed and additional bed size will unlock larger pressing and stamping opportunities. Investment in the press comes after a successful two-year period for the Kingswinford-based firm, with an MBO in 2016 proving the catalyst for 10% year-on-year growth, 20 new jobs and a predicted £30m turnover across its operations in the UK and Slovakia during 2018.
“We have worked with Bruderer UK for more than 20 years and have been extremely impressed with the quality of the machines it provides and the service/maintenance packages it delivers,” explains Ian Davies, sales director at Clamason Industries. “Zani presses are renowned for their durability and performance, and the 300 ton Motion Master press gives us the ability to achieve over 80 strokes per minute and take on much larger and complex components. We have also opted for the turnkey solution, which includes a state-of-the-art servo feeder and decoiling line.”
Bruderer UK MD Adrian Haller says: “We listened to the technical team at Clamason and, through our understanding of the business and its objectives, put together a turnkey package that not only met its requirements, but actually surpassed them.”
