Trade and retail fabricator Bedfordshire Windows has invested in a new TT405 Double Mitre Saw from Haffner Murat in response to a dramatic sales uplift following the first lockdown.

Director Tom Pitts, pictured left with colleague Gary Walker, explained: “We needed to upscale our production fast. Automation gives us the ability to do this quickly and easily. The TT405 Double Mitre Saw automates profile cutting and gives us the speed we needed.”

The machine is the second that Bedfordshire has purchased from Haffner Murat after last yea’s investment in a FOM Industrie Adir C CNC Machining Centre to help meet growing demand for its aluminium bifolding doors. Tom added: “We knew from our experiences dealing with Haffner last year that we could trust their ability to meet all our requirements when we needed new machinery this year.”

Bedfordshire Windows has seen production trebled in 2020 and it has taken on an additional 17 members of staff. It currently supplies trade customers within a 50-mile radius of its Kempston base. As well as investment in automation machinery, the company has moved into a new 7,000 sq ft manufacturing plant.
