HTA Invests over £1M in Laser Cutting & Press Braking Technology

Continuing with their strategy of profitable growth through investment in world class production technology, HTA have placed an order worth over £1M with its chosen machine tool partner TRUMPF.

The order consists of two TRUMPF 3030 5kW Flatbed Lasers and two TRUMPF 5130 TruBend 3met 130T Press Brakes.

This increases HTA's capacity in these areas to five lasers and six press brakes following investment in production technology of over £3.5M in the past 3 years.

These latest additions to our already extensive production capability will mean an initial 60% increase in capacity. This, coupled with our relocation to our new 90,000 Sq Ft Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Coventry, is one of a number of major business improvements in the coming months that will mean further improved capacity and service.

"Our customers expect the best, most cost effective service possible, so they can keep ahead of the competition. The new TruLaser 5030 is dramatically faster than some of our competitors laser cutting machines and provides increased productivity and quality setting the benchmark for flatbed laser cutting in the UK".

The new machines will be commissioned in January 2012, with the relocation due to be completed by the end of February 2012.
