Vista Group invests in high tech production machinery
Vista Group plc, manufacturer of PVC door panels and composite doors has recently invested in excess of £300,000 in state of the art production machinery at its factory in the Wirral, Cheshire.
The advanced technology includes a new SCM double headed CNC machine, a new extraction system, two diamond bead adhesive machines, six cold presses and three waste compactors that will allow the company to recycle up to 80% of its waste material. The new machinery was needed to increase production capacity following an influx of new orders due to contract wins.
Star of the show is the double headed CNC machine. It allows two doors to be machined in the same time that it previously took to machine one door. It automatically sizes the door and routes out the apertures for the glass and letterplate. This new equipment is effectively twice as fast as the existing machines as one door can be loaded while the other is being routed.
Vista Group's Managing Director, Keith Sadler says: "this capital expenditure will help Vista to cope with the increased demand from our customers from both the public and private sectors. The new CNC machine has significantly increased our capacity and further improved the quality of our doors. It will enable us to reduce our lead times for composite doors over the next few months and so improve our customer service. "
