'A contract machined component superstore' is how precision machining company describes itse service of holding machined parts in store for release as required by its customers.
Says Paul Cobb, managing director: "Although the machines were quickly commissioned and set up with our multi-vice flexible fixturing systems, we still found we were short on capacity as particular customers stepped up contracts with us for 2004 to meet their growing export targets." HPC employs 50 people and has found its customer base, involving domestic appliance, printing and luxury goods manufacturers, has benefited from using the flexibility offered by HPC's prototype development and into production and final assembly strategy.
Maintains Cobb: "One important element we have found that has built customer confidence is our willingness to invest in the latest technology to provide a fast track, 'supply on demand' service.".
