ITC Expands UK Production Facility
As the UK’s benchmark manufacturer of precision cutting tools, Industrial
Tooling Corporation (ITC) has now expanded its Tamworth manufacturing
plant. The company has acquired a neighbouring premises that will give
ITC a demonstration area, additional warehousing and most importantly
the space to almost double its cutting tool production capacity.
Purchased during the summer, ITC has invested heavily in the new
8,000sq/ft floor space to create a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant.
Commenting upon the acquisition and the planned expansion of the
Staffordshire business, ITC’s Managing Director, Mr Peter Graves says:
“Our business has grown substantially in the last few years and we have
continued to invest in the most productive machine tools to maximise
our productivity per square metre. The limited floor area was restraining
our plans for growth, so the availability of the adjacent unit proved very
timely.”
The new 8,000sq/ft floor area has already been prepared with a
demonstration area that will also provide the R&D team with a tool
trialling facility for customers. The new factory will almost double the
existing floor-space and this will provide the potential for an additional
20+ machine tools for the production of cutting tools. Additionally, an
annex floor has been installed to provide extra office space.
