Harwin has made a significant financial investment into its manufacturing facility. The company claims it has purchased £1 million of new manufacturing equipment that will bring a massive upgrade to its worldwide headquarters and manufacturing centre in Portsmouth, UK.
The company advises it has a strategy in place for upgrading its facility every five years to ensure the most advanced and effective productivity.
The investment includes two new Arburg electronic moulding machines which are currently being used to improve production of the company’s new 1.25mm pitch high-performance Gecko connector family.
Other new equipment includes EDM wire erosion, hole drilling and die sinking machinery from AgieCharmilles, a MAST 3 wetting balancing machine and substantial amounts of tooling. This new investment follows a new £350,000 water treatment plant installed by the company last year.
Our philosophy is that it is only by keeping all manufacturing stages under our control here in Portsmouth that we will be able to constantly innovate and deliver new, high-quality products to the market. To do that we must have the best equipment; this demands constant reinvestment. But we can only reap the benefits offered by these leading edge machines if we have a highly-skilled and flexible workforce, which is why Harwin is also committed to training and development programs for our staff,” said Chairman Damon De Laszlo.
