World Cup fever and production

This week has been a very busy week; we have been busy in the factory with various stages of production of several ceramics. With the economic downturn we have noticed that companies will hold less stock and place orders when and if needed. This brings several challenges, not just to the factory staff but also our office staff. As we are one of the last manufacturers in the UK producing an extensive range of industrial ceramics in house, we are always proud to be able to give the customer an answer on material, stock, tooling and lead time as part of the order process. Our customers are more than welcome to visit our factory, to get a feel of the production process. As a small family company, we are flexible towards customers’ demands and lead-times and we stride to deliver UK manufactured ceramic products for use worldwide. We should not forget the World Cup of course and as usual, we organised the famous Ceramic Substrates sweepstakes. The number of teams will go in a bag to be drawn out, and countries assigned to the numbers. Some people were a bit down with the country they had as their World Cup winner. However, after some of the games in the last week, things might turn and we could have an unexpected winner.


We are all behind England for next week’s crunch match against Slovenia
