The Pride of UK Manufacturing

In an era marked by global supply chains and outsourcing, our Suffolk factory stands proudly as a symbol of the enduring benefits of keeping manufacturing within the UK. At the heart of our success lies the commitment to build our machinery right here on British soil and source 90% of components from within 50 miles of our factory. This decision is not just a matter of national pride; it brings with it a plethora of advantages that ripple through the local economy, environment, and the quality of our products.

One of the key benefits of manufacturing in the UK is the preservation and creation of local jobs. By keeping our operations close to home, we support skilled workers and their families, bolstering the community and its economic stability. It also allows for greater control over production processes and adherence to stringent quality standards. By overseeing every stage of manufacturing, we can ensure that our machines meet the highest industry benchmarks, earning the trust and loyalty of our customers.

Sourcing 90% of our components from within 50 miles of our factory takes our commitment to local pride one step further. It reduces our carbon footprint and minimizes transportation-related emissions. The proximity of our suppliers also fosters strong relationships and encourages collaboration. Working closely with local suppliers allows for faster response times, smoother communication, and quicker adaptations to market demands and design changes. In an ever-evolving industry, these advantages translate into a competitive edge that allows us to respond to customer needs promptly and stay ahead of the curve.

Supporting local suppliers means supporting other businesses within the region, creating a cycle of economic growth that benefits the entire community. As we thrive, so do our suppliers, their employees, and the surrounding businesses that provide services to our workshop. As we move forward, we will continue to proudly build and supply the very best machinery, showcasing the best of what the UK manufacturing and engineering industry has to offer.
