Warwick NW makes £750k machinery investment
Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram, has officially ‘cut the ribbon’ on Warwick North West’s £750,000 Schirmer saw investment.
Mayor Rotheram said. “Warwick North West is a shining example of the ambition and innovation that make our region a great place to do business. By championing social value, embracing sustainability, and investing in cutting-edge technology, they are creating high-quality jobs, driving the transition to more energy-efficient homes, and helping to grow our economy.
“It’s brilliant to see a local manufacturer leading the way, proving that sustainable, well-made products can go hand in hand with economic success.”
The company manufactures Eurocell’s Logik range and the Modus system, which achieves U-values as low as 0.7 W/m²K, far exceeding current building regulations.
The new machinery is designed to reduce window production time by an impressive 66%, to just 30 seconds per window. This improvement in efficiency positions the G24 award-winning fabricator to meet growing demand while maintaining a commitment to quality.
“The Schirmer saw will enable us to push for faster lead times and increase our production capacity. While this improves our fabrication, it also creates important employment opportunities,” explained managing director, Greg Johnson. “With this investment, we’re creating eight new skilled manufacturing roles. In an era where many companies are automating jobs away, we’re using technology to create them.”
The Schirmer Saw is part of a comprehensive £1 million investment from Warwick North West that includes fleet upgrades and digital infrastructure improvements.
The investment comes as part of Warwick North West’s impressive growth under Greg’s leadership since 2021, doubling its turnover from £5 million to approximately £12 million.
“This investment shows our commitment to Liverpool’s manufacturing future, creating quality jobs, and providing great products with fast lead times,” said Greg. “I’m excited about how this technology enables us to play our part in addressing the industry’s skills shortage while helping our clients build and improve homes in the area.”
