A precision engineering specialist has completed a £650,000 investment drive to help it boost efficiency and create a new inspection department. Technoset, which employs 27 people at its factory in Rugby, took learnings from a Warwickshire Manufacturing Growth Programme lean workshop to create a more streamlined process flow and a world-class production and inspection cell. Two Star SL 10 sliding-head lathes headline the recent investments, alongside two new Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex CMMs. “We’re always looking at ways to improve our manufacturing performance,” says managing director Adam Land. “Discussing and learning about different best practice approaches at the lean workshop crystalised our thinking and gave us the confidence to continue with our £650,000 investment.” More information www.warwickshire-mgp.co.uk
