Yorkshire based manufacturer, Global Precision, has recently moved to a 19,000 sq ft facility investing 1.4 million and plans to reshore business from China.
Global Precision is an international resource framework, providing a range of benefits and services to efficiently complete manufacturing projects both on time and within budget. From front-end engineering to contract manufacture of complete end-products, they have the resources to ensure the successful completion of customers projects. Global’s team of professionals, whether local or on the ground offshore, allow customers to be in control of their project without expensive trips to manufacturing plants.
The new facility, based in Haworth is almost three times the size of Global’s original facility based in Cross Roads and will allow the firm to grow further and invest in more machinery to conduct tooling trials and R&D.
With state of the art security and facial recognition technology, Global can ensure the confidentiality of its customers. This ultra-modern facility also includes digital information points which showcase live updates on the company’s performances and sales figures. On top of that, it will also feature a new showroom demonstrating their various moulding work, medical devices, PPE projects, flood defence barrier and run-flat vehicle systems as well as a diverse range of automotive components.
Darren Webb, Sales Manager at Global Precision told the Made in Group:
“Here at Global we take pride in the way we present ourselves, we have invested heavily in design and branding which is something we maintained in our previous facilities as well.
We have put a lot of focus on show space in the facility, concentrating on making it feel more like an exhibition rather than a showroom.”
With more space at the firm's new manufacturing plant, they have also invested in new machinery including high efficiency electric hybrid injection mouldings machines. In comparison to their old facility, the new one includes a floor dedicated to assembly, moulding and a large showroom.
Offering customers a cost-effective and efficient tooling solution, the majority of the firm's manufacturing is carried out in China. However, to reduce their carbon footprint and help upscale their production, Global hopes to reshore some of their business from China via their assemblies. This means the company will be saving on costs as well, as they won't need to use external suppliers. Darren concluded:
“Our business plan has been to increase manufacture at our UK site mainly through new business. However, by reshoring, we can become more sustainable, eliminate customer concerns and speed up delivery times on products for customers in the UK and Europe.”
