EFS Introduces Cutting-Edge Power Press Machine, Revolutionising Production of volume metalwork in the UK

Engineered Fabrication Solutions (EFS), one of the UK’s leading metalwork manufacturers and fabricators, is excited to announce the arrival of its first in-house Coil Fed 200T Power Press machine.

This cutting-edge addition to EFS’ manufacturing arsenal promises to streamline operations, significantly decrease ongoing production lead times and enables EFS to deliver a large quantity of high-quality products for the plumbing and electrical wholesale industry. This machinery will also assist with the volume of ongoing customer-specified metalwork production in record time, which is conveniently produced and dispatched on-site in Highbridge, Somerset.

Adding to the large-scale capital investments of over £2m over the last two years, the power press joins an array of high-spec machinery to help EFS leave its mark on the industry. The new power press, which began production in March 2023, represents another significant milestone in EFS’ commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of its valued customers. With advanced features and capabilities, EFS can now achieve unparalleled efficiency and precision in metal manufacturing and fabrication of metalwork components and fixings.

Key features of the C-type press machine include:

• Enhanced precision: The new apparatus is equipped with advanced high-precision tools, including fixed lengthened rectangular slide guides ensuring accurate and consistent fabrication results for even the most intricate metal components.
• Reduced lead time: By leveraging this functionality in EFS’ 60,000sq ft factory, it can significantly reduce the lead time on products and eliminate international delivery delays – meaning faster delivery and enhanced customer satisfaction.
• On-site manufacturing: With the power press now installed and commissioned at the Highbridge site, EFS have full control over the manufacturing process from start to finish on hard tool-formed products. Allowing EFS to maintain strict quality control standards throughout volume production, reiterating its promise: “Service First, Quality Always!”

Commenting on this exciting development, EFS’ Managing Director, Calvin Christopher, said, “Our new Coil Fed 200T Power Press, is the result of months of hard work and we are now seeing the benefits of having in-house control of the supply chain when producing circa 8,000 metal work components a day from it.”

EFS remains committed to excellence in metal manufacturing and fabrication, delivering top-quality products that meet the highest industry standards. The addition of the power press machine strengthens its capabilities as a market leader in the UK, allowing them to cater to a wider range of customer specifications with unmatched speed and efficiency.
