News: Inside industry at PMS Diecasting
The latest in a series of factory visits enables manufacturers to benchmark their performance and learn best practice tools and techniques from some of the most successful businesses in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
On October 20, Yorkshire manufacturers can find out how PMS Diecasting, the UK's most technologically advanced zinc diecaster – has invested in robotic technology alongside its Lean programme to give the company a great advantage over its competitors.
The company has successfully broken away from traditional methods of diecasting and built up a modern, forward looking business capable of fulfilling complex bespoke orders in vast quantities.
Founded in 1975, PMS developed a precision manufacturing process to produce handsaws that proved so successful that every DIY retail outlet and most handtool distributors sold an "own brand" saw which was made and branded by PMS in Rotherham. In just five years PMS became the largest volume manufacturer of handaws in the UK.
Founder Gordon Panter, and colleague, Robin Mokryj, acquired the company in 2000 and started an intensive investment programme to move into specialist diecasting work.
The employee-owned business, which has 30 staff and has pioneered environmentally-friendly manufacturing techniques, expects turnover to rise by £500,000 to £3.5m. Customers include Yale, Chubb, Britax and Gripple.
Tours are led by staff at the company, and there are plenty of opportunities for questions and networking. Places are charged at just £50 per person, which includes buffet lunch.
