The company, which supplies metal forming services to the foodservice industry, invested £35,000 in a new XYZ milling machine as part of ongoing expansion plans and is now planning for further growth with a new £150,000 CNC automatic lathe.
Funding was secured from asset finance specialist Academy Leasing. The move will allow Shaw Metal to further increase turnover and to expand into new markets.
“With capacity for large volume production or bespoke projects, we already pride ourselves on offering one of the most comprehensive metal forming packages in the UK,” said Shaw Metal Solutions managing director, Georgina St Hilaire. “By securing funding through Academy Leasing, we have now been able to invest in our own tool-making facility. This is a fantastic advantage that allows us to offer our clients a one-stop-shop for tooling, samples and final products, and gives us total control over quality and turnaround times.
“It’s also helped us to move into new sectors such as oil and gas exploration. We now need an additional CNC automatic lathe to service the latest wave of new business growth.”
