Whilst we originally announced our relocation and expansion early last year, we are pleased to say that it’s full steam ahead at our new premises at Matrix Point, Birmingham. After so many false starts, we are now progressing well and are looking to finally move into our new home at the end of March.
Our exterior signage was fitted many months ago, however, we have been hard at work on the interior of the building. Although we initially hit a few stumbling blocks, the framework is now in place for a mezzanine floor to be installed, ready for us to move our plant and machinery over from its current home in Digbeth. The installation of another floor will provide much more floor space, allowing us to considerably increase our current capacity.
Once the move is complete, we are excited to commission our new high-speed cutting and kiss-cutting press, which you may remember that we talked about last year. This machine is designed to operate at speeds of up to 100 strokes per minute, without compromising on the pinpoint accuracy that our customers have come to expect from us. This major investment will play an important part in improving the speed and efficiency of our cutting and kiss-cutting processes.
Once the mezzanine is in place and we can officially start the moving process, we will update you on our latest developments. We look forward to announcing our grand opening day at some time in the near future!
