Full Description
Include background information about the SME, more detail about the product/service/technology on offer or required and the type(s) of cooperation sought. Remember to include an explanation of the desired outcome of the international partnership and how your client envisages it working

Award-winning UK SME offering a machinery manufacturing service, specialising in the innovative and often bespoke design and installation of programmable automation machines and production lines to streamline, speed up and increase productivity, volume of output and number of textiles and product processed, enhance efficiency, prevent downtime, and reduce wastage of time and labour.
Unique provision and conceptualisation of solutions to issues around accuracy of cutting, stamping and alignment, stitching, slitting, transportation (through conveyors) and rotation or components and products.
All machines are British made, designed, and built in-house on rock-solid foundations using their own manufacturing facilities and the latest state of the art machinery equipment. Their in-house CAD designers and engineers know how important it is to understand good design and build to ensure quality in the make-up of the machinery.
Specialising in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of mattress making machinery, including foam processing and production, their expertise can help improve the overall operational performance, efficiency, and productivity of businesses. This philosophy allows the company to develop valuable long-term relationships with customers for whom they offer extensive support and technical expertise. The company excels at developing and producing innovative automation machinery that improves productivity, efficiency and reduces risk.
The company is interested in signing commercial agreements with international partners who are particularly interested in sales and distribution. This partnership would provide the possibility of a more intense presence in the global market. The client offers its services on external markets through subcontracting, outsourcing, manufacturing agreement.
Advantages and Innovations
All machines and projects are carefully considered with the visualisation of the existing methods of production in mind. The intuitive approach to problem solving means that the best solution is presented, with a prototype model created and made available to the project lead to consider, whilst discussing the options available. Communication is maintained regarding new developments in the modification of machinery and programming to enhance the delivery of their service and they operate an open-door policy to ensure they work with project teams to get the most out of their needs, to devise the best solution, making best use of space, resources, and value for money.

Every aspect of the design, build, testing and installation of the machinery is done in-house, to further a lean approach to manufacturing and prototype testing, site visits and communication ensure accurate understanding of the requirements. Engineers are available for rapid servicing, fulfilling repairs, providing spares and technical support. They are also able to attend customer site where feasible. Their service is a bespoke element rather than off the shelf, providing solutions that manufacturers haven’t been able to find elsewhere.
The result for the partner would be in hope to streamline and increase their productivity, reduce health and safety risk, and ensure efficiency.
This will help with cost saving, a greener solution, and a gain in productivity and quality.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The goal for the company would be to work with a manufacturer to audit current manufacturing processes, production line, space, and what they want to achieve and make machines based on that. The sales would be a sideline to machinery manufacturing. Manufacturing processes, sales, and commission.
Businesses looking to partner should be seeking to assess, audit, design, automate and optimise their existing production lines, in the manufacturing and processing of mattresses, beds, foam and/or textiles materials, with the use of machinery or discuss the conceptualisation of new bespoke machines and programmable systems such as sewing, stitching, layering, cutting, slitting, stacking, flipping, turning, rotating conveying machines to integrate into existing or new production lines. They will have a desire for the machines to contribute to the efficiency and streamlining of the manufacturing and production processes, working alongside or in place of operators (or in the reduction of headcount and number or operators). Proposals from distribution agents in markets where the above need is present are also welcome.
