Repeat business for Kombimatec

Seaham based North East Bifolds has invested in a second AMC308 machining centre from Kombimatec after being ‘hugely impressed’ with its first purchase, four years ago.

Delivered in April, the new addition has been housed within a recently completed 600m² on-site warehouse.

Tony Meah and Chris Craggs, owners of North East Bifolds, say that they have noticed ‘intense, increased demand for perfect end products’ and are keen to fulfil orders at a faster rate.

“Primarily, we chose to take on a second machine to safeguard the business against any issues we might face if the existing one was out of action, but ultimately, having two machines running will enable us to double our output and reduce lead in times by at least a week,” explained Tony.

“The added benefit that the entire team already know the control panel, made the decision to expand in this way an easy one.”

Used across aluminium and PVC profiles, Kombimatec’s 3+1 axis CNC system is said to be proving popular, with repeat orders becoming a regularity.

Chris added: “Our team are comfortable with the machines, but we know that if we need a product demo, or any additional training, we only have to ask. We’re so chuffed at the quality of the Kombimatec products, that we’ve also bought a new aluminium saw, too!”

Kombimatec’s director, David Parsons, added: “We’re really proud that businesses like North East Bifolds choose to repeatedly buy from us – if we can help get the industry moving again and support people like Tony to speed up his production of high quality products, then everyone comes out winning.”
