Saw cuts time too
2nd August 2016

Just months after the move into much larger premises, composite door manufacturer DOORCO has made further investments with the purchase of a new beam saw.

The £150,000 machine allows the company to increase volumes and reduce lead times for prepped door customers, as Managing Director, Dan Sullivan explained: “In a competitive sector such as the composite door market it is vital that we continue to stay ahead of the game, not just from a business point of view, but in order to allow our customers to do the same.

“The saw allows us to significantly reduce the time it takes to size the doors, bringing each individual process down from two minutes to 20 seconds. This, in turn, will increase our capacity from 1,700 to 3,500 prepped doors per month. The investment not only demonstrates our commitment to the prepping side of our business, but also provides customers with the benefit of increased volumes and potentially lower lead times on their orders. The saw will be installed and fully operational from the beginning of August, and we have further investments and improvements in the pipeline for the rest of the year.”
