The engineering firm will use the centre to increase its installed base of Citizen Machinery UK supplied machines to five.
Says Adams Engineering managing director Robert Roberts: “We have to increase capacity because one of our leading customers with a turnover in excess of £140 million has acquired another business. As we have a long term reliable supplier history, we are online to significantly increase part production.”
The first day of the Open House was branded an outstanding success by Citizen deputy managing director Darren Wilkins as his team chalked up orders from the 75 customers attending worth well over £700,000. This also included machine orders from visiting customers from Scotland and Ireland.
Indeed, over the three days with more than 300 people attending, 18 orders were placed worth in excess of £3.4 million with a major focus by customers buying seven machines featuring Citizen’s patented Low Frequency Vibration technology (LFV)
Adds Adams Engineering director Scott Burrows: “We have grown on the back of Citizen installations giving us reliability, consistency of production, and support and service when we need it.We have the flexibility to produce a wide range of parts in batches between 200 and 20,000 parts and in most materials including mild steel, stainless, brass, copper, aluminium bronze and plastics which enables us to support a good customer base.”
