Major investment in new technology for Dunfermline manufacturing operation
When you’ve been manufacturing vehicles for over 50 years, it’s essential to invest in new technology to keep that competitive edge – and our latest investment at Hillend Engineering is a state-of-the-art, high precision Brake Press.
“The new Brake Press is an excellent piece of equipment, which enables us to produce a higher quality product with higher tolerance, but it’s part of a much bigger programme of investment across our manufacturing operation”. says Steve Lally, Hillend Engineering’s Head of Engineering & Manufacturing Services. “Spending time with our customers, we’ve carried out a full product reliability review and, with the expertise of our Designers, have identified areas within our products and manufacturing operation that needed to be improved. As a result of this, we’ve now implemented considerable changes.
We’ve invested heavily in the fabrication process; jigs; forward manufacturing; and assembly processes and have re-designed the product itself.
Our next generation products are launching imminently, and we are extremely excited to showcase a range of waste collection vehicles that, we are confident, are market leading”.
