Continuing with their strategy of profitable growth through investment in world class production technology, HTA have placed an order worth over £750,000.00 with its chosen machine tool partner TRUMPF for their second TruLaser 5030 6kW Flatbed Laser Cutting Machine and a second TruBend 5130 3met 130T Press Brake. This increases HTA's capacity in these areas to three lasers and three press brakes following investment in production technology of over £2M in the past 3 years.

 

Managing Director of HTA Precision Sheet Metal Ltd Adam Thomas says "I firmly believe that if we continue to offer our customers the benefits of the best quality and most productive sheet metal technology they will reward us with continued growth. These latest additions to our already extensive production capability will mean an initial 30% increase in capacity. This is one of a number of improvements in the coming months that will mean further improved capacity and service."

 

Harmut Pannen, Managing Director of TRUMPF UK Ltd says " Although there is no denying that investment in manufacturing technology is compromised by the current status of the economy, HTA Precision is one entrepreneurial company that is bucking the trend.  It can see the potential that investment in the latest production technology provides even in today’s market "

 

" HTA Precision’s purchase of TRUMPF machines is an important strand in securing and maintaining that all important competitive edge.  The machines it has chosen are highly productive and flexible and designed to minimise part cost and lead times as well as maximise quality.   Customers will benefit significantly from this company’s foresight "

 

The new machines will be commissioned in September 2010.
