CMS Cepcor: Beyond the Surface

When encountering CMS Cepcor for the first time, customers often find themselves taken aback by the company's size. The prevailing sentiment— “I didn’t realise how big CMS was”—is a common phrase stated by visitors to the UK facilities, which include the company’s Headquarters, Manufacturing Facility, and Global Parts Storage Facility. This initial reaction prompts a closer look at CMS Cepcor's recent advancements and accolades, highlighting the company's substantial scale and prominent presence in the industry as the leading aftermarket manufacturer and supplier of spare parts.

Company Overview
Established in 1960, CMS Cepcor has a workforce of 180 employees globally, with 140 stationed at its Headquarters in Coalville, Leicestershire. Demonstrating expertise in delivering high-quality products and services worldwide, the company has solidified its position as a trusted supplier in the mining and aggregate sectors. CMS Cepcor's commitment to customer satisfaction, combined with its pursuit of operational excellence, has facilitated its expansion across continents and the cultivation of enduring client relationships in diverse markets.

Improvements and Innovations
One aspect of the business that consistently impresses is its manufacturing facilities, which demonstrate both remarkable capabilities and a commitment to precision engineering. CMS Cepcor's recent acquisition of a state-of-the-art Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) marks a significant leap forward in inspection capabilities. This cutting-edge device facilitates precise measurements by autonomously guiding a probe to predetermined positions on objects, following instructions from inspectors via computer software.

The CMM's primary advantage lies in its unparalleled accuracy and repeatability, measuring down to an astonishing 2 microns (0.002 mm) compared to Portable CMM Arms' 40 microns (0.04 mm). This heightened precision ensures that every component supplied by CMS Cepcor adheres meticulously to relevant specifications, consistently meeting rigorous quality standards.

By bolstering inspection capabilities, CMS Cepcor instils greater confidence in customers and suppliers, enhancing its reputation and fostering strong partnerships. Moreover, the CMM offers exceptional repeatability, executing semi-automated inspection programs akin to CNC machines. This efficiency allows inspectors to allocate their focus to other critical tasks while the CMM seamlessly conducts its functions, exemplifying CMS Cepcor's dedication to precision engineering.

Recent Accolades
CMS Cepcor's commitment to excellence has earned it a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. This esteemed accolade, announced on May 6th, recognises the company's outstanding growth in overseas sales, marking the third time in its history that it has been honoured for excellence in global business operations. Previous acknowledgments include the Queen's Award in 2012 and 2019, underscoring CMS Cepcor's dedication to engineering excellence, product quality, and high levels of customer service.
Matthew Weare, Group CEO, expressed delight at receiving the award, attributing it to the collective effort and investment made by the entire team. With group revenue projected to surpass $100 million for the first time, CMS Cepcor is poised to capitalise on its export successes in existing markets while planning for further growth in new territories, positioning the company for an exciting future.

Future Plans
While CMS Cepcor's undeniable scale might occasionally fly under the radar, the company is determined to change this perception. To address this oversight, the company is launching an innovative marketing strategy, debuting at the Hillhead Exhibition 2024. The campaign, aptly named “Wait for Nothing,” seeks not only to solidify the brand’s presence but also to firmly establish its status as the industry's premium aftermarket parts supplier.

Extensive research has revealed that CMS Cepcor stands out for its fast response times, setting it apart from many competitors in the field. At the heart of the campaign lies a humorous and slightly exaggerated video series depicting a quarry manager accustomed to enduring long waits for spare parts. However, a whimsical turn of events occurs when a large blue crate, stamped with the slogan "Wait for nothing," unexpectedly appears beside him, disrupting his day— a creative illustration that captures CMS Cepcor’s proactive service and reactive response time to reduce downtime and keep their customers crushing.

With this campaign, CMS Cepcor seeks not only to change perceptions but also to redefine expectations, ensuring that its reputation aligns with its true scale. Beyond the surface, CMS Cepcor continues to innovate, excel, and lead the way in the global aftermarket parts industry.
