Keyframe Bucks Trend With £400k Investment

REHAU trade fabricator Keyframe has invested almost £400,000 in a new machining centre and associated software.

The move is intended to increase capacity at the Bolton-based company from 1,000 to 1,500 frames per week.

Andy Bell, Sales and Marketing Manager at the company, said: 'Keyframe is winning both new trade and commercial business and successfully bucking the downward trend in the market at the moment.
'With this investment, we are looking to capitalise on our current market strength by increasing our production volume and improving both our speed and efficiency.'

Keyframe has purchased a BJM machining centre from Promac which, as well as increasing capacity, will automate much more of its production and deliver consistent, guaranteed product quality. Alongside this, it has commissioned the market leading Evolution software from Business Micros to operate the machine.

Andy Bell adds: 'We are very confident that together the cutting centre and new software will make a significant impact on our overall efficiency and will enable us to expand successfully whilst maintaining the high standards we have set for product and service quality.'

Keyframe supplies trade customers across the UK in the REHAU S706 70mm system and its renowned for its efficient service and fast delivery.
