Tridan invests to protect cost base
Investments at Tridan Engineering in millturning, DNC link upgrades and further machine tools to be installed in September. The company says that these investments will help it to maintain and improve its current cost base and help protect against the threat of higher fuel, energy and raw material costs.
The recent investment in a new Mazak CNC turning centre not only replaced an existing machine tool but also expanded Tridan’s capabilities into mill turn for the first time. This was closely followed by the replacement and upgrading of the company’s DNC links which now gives real-time data transfer and storage to all current machine tools. The company has also confirmed two further machine tool purchases which are expected to be fully operational by early September 2009.
In an effort to continually improve Tridan’s ability to compete in small to medium volume markets the purchase of a third Mazak VTC-200C2 machine has been agreed which will aid and complement the existing production cells.
In addition to this a further XYZ 710 vertical machining centre is to be installed. The purpose of this new machine tool, which will also be fitted with an integrated 4th axis, is to service the ever-increasing demand for one off and small batch work. The inclusion of the latest conversational programming software will also allow much greater flexibility where fast turnarounds are demanded on this particular type of work.
Tridan says that the business policy it is pursuing will ensure the business remains very much customer focused and it says that these latest investments are further evidence of its determination to meet all of its customers, needs.
The ongoing investment policy, coupled with the very strong and diverse customer base enjoyed by Tridan, has also seen staffing levels rise this year by 7% overall. Part of this increase has been the addition of another apprentice taking the number onsite to three. This is seen as an area vital for the future growth of Tridan.
