Apeer has announced a combined investment of over £500,000 in a cutting centre, corner cleaner, and foam press.
The latter alone allows the 120mm Residence Door production to have its own foam press, so adding a further 50% to capacity.
Managing director Asa McGillian added: “We have purchased a Stuga PVC Sawing and Machining Centre that includes a software upgrade, an SCM Accord 25FX CNC Router with tooling and Jumbo Ergo vacuum lifter and jib crane, and an Urban SV-530 CNC corner cleaner.
All of which means we now have a total of ten CNCs and three foam presses to ensure we can meet the increasing demand for our unique offering. The collection of new machinery allows us the all-important ability to simultaneously cut both sides of the profile, as well as even greater accuracy, ease of use with advanced software, continued top quality production, and greater flexibility.
He concluded: “The last few years haven’t been easy and that has meant a lot of companies withdrawing from further investment until the market stabilises. However, with more stringent legislation on the horizon, we believe it’s important to continue to invest to keep delivering what our customers need to stay compliant and of course competitive.”
