A full night shift is in place at Shape Machining Ltd and will operate all year round.
Managing Director, Peter McCool, said “It is a significant achievement that we have a fully operating team of programmers and machine operators working all through the night. This gives us 24hr a day machining capability from Monday to Thursday, which along with our existing 12hr shift on Friday, Saturday and Sunday gives us great capacity and coverage.”
Shape added the nightshift as part of the continued strategy to give customers more capacity and a faster turnaround.
McCool added “We want to be the ‘go-to’ company for composite companies that want high quality, CNC machined patterns and moulds.”
Shape Machining supplies high quality patterns to all sectors of the carbon composites industry.
