Stroud Metal Co has invested in a new Chin Fong OCP-110EL press that will boost its capacity for high volume progression presswork.
Traditionally known for deep drawn components, Stroud Metal Co has seen healthy growth in both high volume deep drawn metal pressing enquiries and traditional progressive die metal stampings. Consequently it has now taken the opportunity to increase machine capacity to support the new business won and attract more high volume progressive die component manufacture.
Stroud Metal Company and its sister company Cotsworld Plastics (soon to become Stroud Plastics Company) have both seen an increased order book and are proving to be highly successful in a competitive European market.
Mr Matthew Large, MD of the Stroud group of companies, commented: “Stroud Metal Co, has experienced healthy interest from large European OEMs and first tier manufacturers looking to challenge their traditional supplier base and are asking Stroud to partner with them by adding to our capabilities. Whether it be secondary operations, assembly or adding to machine capability Stroud Metal Co is open to investigate opportunities to support new and existing customers”
From purchase order to commissioning of the new press at Stroud Metal is expected to take around 7 weeks. The machine is being supplied by Worcester Presses Ltd.
