ü Comprehensive Assembly and Packing Facilities

o Along side its existing conventional conveyor type assembly the company has now committed to a program of Lean Manufacture and has already installed and created new workshops using Cell Type Assembly and Packing massively reducing the demand on Labour and Resources, ultimately reducing cost, please refer to the images for more information on this technique.

o A recent Kaizen workshop and subsequent 'fine tuning' by our newly formed Lean Manufacture department resulted in a 60% increase in productivity for the assembly and pack of a Mattel very high detail collectible item.

o Additional to the above we have a large collection of High Frequency Welding assembly machines, Heat Seal Blister machines and Shrink Wrap Tunnels enabling us to offer the customer a full assembly and pack service.
