H T Brigham sees enquiries soar as UK manufacturers look closer to home again
21/07/2008, Birmingham, UK:
A presswork manufacturer based in Coleshill near Birmingham, is feeling positive at a time when there are industry wide concerns about the future of UK manufacturing.
In recent months H T Brigham & Company Limited, which supplies components primarily to the Automotive and Construction sectors, has seen a definite upturn on two fronts. Firstly, their existing overseas accounts, which make up around 45% of turnover, are increasing due to a combination of competitive costing strategy, outstanding quality accreditations and the weakness of the pound.
Secondly, although the engineering company has been subjected to dramatic increases in the cost of raw materials, fuel and associated costs, which has in turn forced them to reluctantly impose price increases of their own, this has also been suffered by their competitors both at home and abroad. Consequently, many UK manufacturers, including the current and potential customers of the Birmingham firm, are no longer able to benefit from cost savings which sourcing from the Far East once offered. In a bid to cut logistic costs these companies are now seeking to bring orders back to Great Britain.
This strategy is making component buyers sit up and request “benchmark” costings from UK based manufacturers, giving H T Brigham the opportunity to demonstrate their competitive edge. Indeed their enquiry book has never looked so healthy and this puts them in a perfect position to capitalise on the business transfer from the Far East, securing future business thus increasing job security at a time when other industry sectors are floundering.
HT Brigham provides a diverse range of industry sectors, worldwide with bespoke presswork solutions. Specialising in the manufacture of small to medium sized metal stampings in high volume, from materials including stainless steel, aluminum and brass, the focus is on using their knowledge, skill base and expertise to manufacture each component to the highest standards and for the lowest possible cost.
