'Focus factory' created at Unicut Precision

The firm is based in Welwyn Garden City and has just won a long term contract from Eaton Hydraulics to make cartridge bodies. As a result, Unicut has refitted its 4,400 sq ft unit 7 and added six staff so it can service the project. The cartridge bodies will be machined on the Index lathes and then pass on to a specially installed conveyor system to take them for in-house zinc and nickel plating. It's the epitome of a modern manufacturing cell with the parts following a precise conveyorised workflow system. Unicut Precision's managing director, Jason Nicholson, says: "The development of this 'focus factory' and the specific plant installed is a multi-million pound investment for us and it highlights our dedication to being the benchmark in subcontract precision production for OEM's and Tier 1 manufacturers."
