Electrification cluster targets £10m of opportunities
A new manufacturing cluster has been established to target more than 10m of electrification opportunities over the next 12 months. Brandauer, C-MAC SMT and PP Control & Automation - all members of the Manufacturing Assembly Network (MAN) - have come together to offer a single-source supply chain solution for electric motors, drivetrain components, battery cells, casings and housings, transfer laminations, PCB assemblies and wider infrastructure services. The partners have also enlisted the expertise of industrial automation specialist Balluff and have already secured 3m+ off-highway automotive contracts together with an order for an upwind turbine system from FuturEnergy.
"Electrification is a massive opportunity for our four businesses and we feel that by collaborating and pooling together our different, but complementary disciplines, we can offer the OEMs and end users access to a single source solution", explains Richard Halton, Business Development Manager at C-MAC SMT, an independent provider of complex electronics and system assemblies. The MAN group collectively employs over 2000 people across 21 different factories, and is working closely with Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG).
