The works, scheduled to be complete in May 2023, include a new automatic wire mesh line, which will improve the site’s capacity by 65%, increase tonnage by 45,000 and help improve throughput by 50%.
The investment will replace some machinery up to 40 years old with fully digital automated robotic lines to help provide laser-guided AI options to help improve productivity and visualisation.
Paul Mason, operations manager at BRC Manufacturing, said: “We have exciting and challenging times preparing the facility for the new machines coming later this year.
“It's a great opportunity for everyone at BRC to be involved in the project and work with the most current, up-to-date mesh welding and cold rolling line machines.
"We will increase the workforce as we move to a three-shift plan towards the end of the year. If a role with us would be of interest, please get in touch by email at paul.mason@brc.ltd.uk.
"While health and safety and improving our factory to create a safe workplace where employee welfare is our top priority, we also want to create a greener factory environment. In addition to the fact that 98% of our product is made using recycled materials, we have also planted 133 trees on site to reduce our carbon footprint."
