Ashe automation drives company expansion
Ashe Converting Equipment is currently undergoing a 12,000sq ft expansion at its headquarters in Ipswich, UK. The additional floor space will lead to further capacity for the company’s various models of slitter rewinders and expand its existing machining centre. Presently, up to 90 per cent of machine parts are manufactured in-house for standard models and further development in this area will ensure that over 1,100 machines can be fully supported without third party manufacturers making items obsolete. Automation enhancements within the company’s machinery range have proved to be popular. Keeping machine stoppages to a minimum is essential and Ashe currently has features in place to keep this time as short as possible.
