MANUFACTURING

The company's manufacturing is performed in two locations. Electrical items such as fuse cut-outs are manufactured at Headquarters where distribution panels are also assembled. Fabrication of products such as feeder pillars is performed at our Newcastle factory where a skilled and dedicated work force uses a wide range of modern manufacturing methods. Equipment includes an in-house injection moulding system and electrical testing facilities which are used to Type Test products.

The manufacturing division is organised to enable both large and small batch production to be performed equally efficiently for standard and bespoke customer requirements.
