Building Capability for the Future<\/h2>\n \n

We are continuing to invest across our UK manufacturing sites to expand capacity, improve efficiency and support the evolving needs of our customers.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

At our Maybole facility, a program of site improvements has been completed to enhance the working environment for our teams and support long-term site capability.<\/h5>\n

Office and shared spaces have been upgraded, accessibility improvements introduced, and the overall appearance of the site refreshed.<\/p>\n

Investment in manufacturing technology includes the introduction of new laser welding capability at Maybole, strengthening in-house processing and improving responsiveness.<\/p>\n

At Bridgend, significant progress has been made through layout changes and equipment investment designed to improve production flow. A new cellular working model connects work centers more effectively, reducing reliance on traditional batch manufacturing and supporting more efficient throughput.<\/p>\n

Additional capability enhancements include a new paint booth that reduces changeover downtime, as well as a newly commissioned sublimation oven. This represents a major capacity upgrade, particularly in support of demand from the US market.<\/p>\n

Both Bridgend and Maybole will benefit from the introduction of laser welding equipment, helping to standardise and streamline this capability across sites.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Technology Powered by Talent<\/h3>\n

Our investment in equipment and infrastructure is matched by continued investment in our people.<\/p>\n

At Bridgend, technical capability in turret punching and perforating has been expanded, strengthening specialist expertise. We are also supporting future skills development through a local talent stream offering work experience placements and apprenticeships, helping to build long-term capability while strengthening links with the surrounding community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
