BWP Technical Services expands; grows

Having added a number of new Unigraphix seats and designers, and put in place an experienced project management team from within the aerospace community, the company has taken orders in the first five months of this year that already exceed last year's record turnover. Serving many industries, but best known for its work within the aerospace sector, BWP provides a one-stop shop for all tooling and workholding design and build requirements, including jigs, fixtures, diamond roll dressers and other innovative holding tools and special handling equipment. BWP has always drawn upon its design experience to provide robust, affordable, and innovative solutions, and then to project manage from a pool of approved toolmakers to ensure quality, cost effective builds. The company's new project management team now takes this a step further in providing class-leading levels of communication, keeping customers informed at all stages of the design and build process, and shortening project lead times. Using NX_Unigraphics, Catia, Inventor and Autocad software, but have the skills in-house to use different packages, if required, the company's design capacity is up by over 80% on last year, with the new BWP Midlands based office opening in September. The new design office will support improved contact with Midlands and Northern customers, and provides a base of operations for the project management team. According to Martin Boon, newly appointed major account manager at BWP: "In recent years, the team has built upon BWP's reputation for first-class design to offer a successful tooling build and procurement service. However, with the recent investments, this offering has been significantly sharpened and BWP now offer exceptional added value to the project life-cycle of anything from single tool orders to major design and build tooling programmes. The BWP model draws upon an unprecedented pool of skill and, most importantly, build capacity. Not limiting our build teams to any one manufacturing facility, not even our own, enables me to provide my customers with optimum quality and delivery performance."
