FURTHER GROWTH FOR PEMBERTON ENGINEERING

Pemberton Engineering Limited — 13/08/2018

Following a busy year, Willenhall based press toolmaker Pemberton Engineering are looking to expand further.

The company continued its steady growth over the past 12 months to increase sales by 10%. This has led to the forthcoming expansion into the premises conveniently placed right next door. The expansion has been planned for a year or so and is now łnally coming to fruition.

The company will double its workspace and have the room required for the planned growth over the next three year period. “We will now have the current press Toolroom in one building, and the new building will become a machining / wire erosion facility. This will increase our market offer to take on sub contract machining work as well as our current very busy toolmaking operation”

To facilitate this we plan to add further to our CNC machining department and possibly add more wire erosion in the future should it be required. The company have already expanded the machining department adding another machining centre. As soon as the machines are sited and fully operational in the new premises, the company will look to add further machines.

Pemberton Engineering are in the process of gaining the accreditation AS9100. This is to ensure that they are compliant for future work and to bring our quality systems further forward. The company is looking to secure new work once the accreditation is gained in new markets. “There are many markets out there that we just do not tap into currently, we are creating alignment with these industries currently. This will lead to orders in the near future”

Pemberton Engineering are having a brand new website constructed which will be ready for launch very soon. This is to better showcase their capabilities. “We are going to use the website to assist in new areas of expansion for the business”.

The addition of the new machining factory will enable Pemberton Engineering to get products to market quicker than ever, helping them reduce lead times and boost sales.

Pemberton Engineering increases accuracy

Pemberton Engineering Limited — 05/11/2014

Pemberton Engineering has invested in a CMM machine and the latest inspect2cad software from QCT. This investment enables the company to offer full reporting to complex 3D parts, to support its press tool manufacturing ability.

We can now reverse engineer dies and punches, which is a great improvement for our work on modification and alteration of tooling.

The machine will also help us when developing into new markets.

Efficiency savings for Pemberton engineering

Pemberton Engineering Limited — 24/07/2015

Pemberton engineering, have recently had designed and installed a new compressed air system that will make considerable energy cost savings. At the heart of the new system is an Atlas Copco variable speed drive unit, which will have efficiency savings on the outgoing Unit of 62%. Making large savings for the company in energy costs and also reducing its carbon footprint!
Although the initial capital expense was higher than other similar Units, it will pay for itself within three years! And is deemed to be a very robust compressor giving piece of mind for the future.

The introduction of this unit both reduces our costs, but also gives us much more scope as the capacity is also larger than our outgoing Compressor. This will enable us to add more plant in the future without having to worry about air supply issues.

Further efficiency at Pemberton Engineering

Pemberton Engineering Limited — 01/04/2016

Following investment last year in new plant and machinery, Pemberton Engineering have continued this investment in earnest this year starting with the purchase of Vero software's latest 3D machining package.

We already achieve a very high accuracy from our Cnc machine tools, but felt that the programming side of the equation was outdated. We reviewed many 3D machining packages and decided on Vero's software due to the ease of programming. This is vital to the new crop of engineers who have to get up to speed much more quickly than previous generations Cnc operatives.

This software will allow us to really unlock the potential of our latest Cnc machining centre and gain the quickest route to finished component, whether that be a bolster for one of our tooling packages or a sub-contract machining part.

Although we design many tools in house, we also sub-contract some design work out. Many press tool designers use Vero software currently. By using Visi (Vero's machining solution) we can link these 3D models seamlessly for machining, without any missing surface data where patching may be required.

To maximize the software's potential we have also installed some new computer hardware so there is no weakness in the programming loop. This equates to much shorter time from initial model load in, to post processing to the machine.

Going forward this year we will also be exhibiting at the made in the Midlands exhibition on stand 34. Please come along to the stand for a chat and discuss what Pemberton Engineering can do for you!

£150k Contract Win Follows Regional Growth Investment

Pemberton Engineering Limited — 08/04/2015

A West Midlands engineering firm is celebrating a new contract worth £150k after receiving help from Green Bridge Funding. Pemberton Engineering, who design and manufacture press tools, were able to invest in a new Hurco CNC machine and create two new jobs.

The Green Bridge Supply Chain Programme will run over the next two years and support businesses who want to grow. To gain funding the business must demonstrate there will also be an environmental benefit. In Pembertons case they were able reduce their energy bills, increase productivity and increase efficiency.

The fund offers help investing in new equipment, relocation or expansion into new premises and improvements in systems or processes.
Darren Pemberton, Operations director said, The contract win was especially pleasing as we know that this type of work has previously been quoted from China. We were able to show how competitive we are worldwide.
He added, Our business is able to compete on more than price, we are also able to help clients with ideas on how the project can be developed in a more efficient way, also the responsive positive service we offer to all of our customers is key.
Darren is an engineering graduate who joined his fathers business and eventually became the Operations director after working every job in the business. Darren said, Toolmaking is a highly skilled career and its important that we keep these skills in the Midlands for future generations.
New jobs
Pemberton has created two new roles following investment, one of whom is an apprentice from Walsall Academy. In a reverse of the traditional apprenticeship, the young engineer, who is in his final year goes to school four times a week and then works in Pemberton on the fifth day.
Darren said this is a really good way for young people to experience the workplace and I was impressed with Walsall Academys innovative approach.
