SpecDrum Engineering Invest for the future.
Leading conveyor pulley supplier SpecDrum Engineering, have placed a heavy focus on targeting and developing new export markets within the global materials handling sector.
SpecDrum Engineering’s headquarters are in Dungannon, an internationally recognised hub of engineering excellence, with manufacturing concentrating on the crushing, screening and materials handling industry. SpecDrum Engineering has recently undergone a complete revision of their corporate identity as part of their assertive European and Global Strategic Growth Plan.
As one of the global leaders in the manufacture and supply of conveyor pulleys SpecDrum Engineering produce over 50,000 pulleys annually and export globally from their primary facility in Dungannon.
In order to facilitate an increase in production as a result of the Strategic Growth Plan, SpecDrum Engineering has made several significant capital investments across all areas of the company. These changes have included the appointment of new personnel in both the office and shop floor environment, additions to the vehicle fleet and the purchase & physical development of a new site located opposite their headquarters, which is primarily being used as a logistics base allowing for efficient global distribution.
More recently SpecDrum Engineering has undertaken a major capital investment in the purchase of a state of the art DOOSAN PUMA 400LM CNC. The PUMA 400 series turning centres are without a doubt the most powerful machines in their class. High metal removal rates, along with rapid positioning and fast bi-directional turret indexing, guarantee unmatched cycle times when real cutting is essential.
Managing Director, Mr Dermot McCabe commented, “The PUMA 400LM will underpin and strengthen the existing schedule of machinery currently in our factory. We have been successful in accruing new customers in new markets across Europe as part of our Sales and Growth Strategy. With this investment in cutting edge technology it allows us greater flexibility, increases our capabilities in our manufacturing process, and further strengthens our status in being able to consistently produce high quality conveyor pulleys for all our customers.”
“As part of our continued investment in our facilities and employees, we recognise that in order to not only meet existing demand we need to futureproof ourselves as we look ahead., It is imperative that we do not stand still but continue to make significant capital investments to ensure we remain one of the global leaders in the manufacture and supply of conveyor pulleys.”
“The company as a whole is excited about the prospects of 2015 and the years following. We are confident that we can meet the increasing demands of our customer base, with our employee development programme and by investing in our manufacturing capabilities.”
SpecDrum Engineering manufactures a diverse range of drive, tail, wing and spiral pulleys across many sectors including the crushing, screening, washing, recycling, aviation and general materials handling industries and exporting globally from their headquarters in Dungannon.
