Bolton engineering firm reaps benefits of £650k investment in new equipment

Engineering and manufacturing company, Beldam Crossley, has invested £650,000 in cutting-edge equipment and facility upgrades to enhance its production capabilities.

The Bolton-based firm has allocated a significant portion of the investment, £130,000, to the installation of new machines revolutionising the way materials are stored and accessed.

These automated storage and retrieval systems have improved material handling, enhanced security, and optimised space utilisation, ensuring seamless operations.

In addition, £280,000 has been invested in advanced machinery, incorporating the latest programming software. This new equipment delivers greater accuracy, higher tolerance points on parts, and improved consistency.

Notably, the machinery is also more energy-efficient, aligning with the firm’s commitment to sustainability.

These strategic investments have already had a significant impact on the business leading to increased production capacity and, thanks to more manufacturing space now available on the factory floor, customers are benefiting from shorter lead times on orders.

Sales director, Gareth Holt, said: “The completion of this investment marks an exciting milestone in Beldam Crossley’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.

“By enhancing our production capabilities, increasing efficiency, and reducing lead times, we are ensuring that we continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers while setting new standards in precision manufacturing.”

Formed in 1876, the firm said it continues to reinforce its position as a leading force in high performance manufacturing, providing innovative engineered solutions for the world’s most critical challenges.
