Driving innovation with cutting-edge machinery
A&M EDM has invested significantly in state-of-the-art equipment, including a Hurco VMX42i three-axis machining centre. This cutting-edge technology will enable the company to take on more complex and larger-scale projects. The new machinery will not only boost the company's production capacity but also improve the precision and quality of its engineering services. This will further solidify its reputation as a leader in the field.
Expanding facilities and workforce
In addition to upgrading its equipment, A&M is also expanding its facilities to accommodate the increased production demand. This expansion is set to create new jobs, providing valuable opportunities for skilled workers in the Sandwell area. By investing in both technology and talent, A&M is positioning itself for long-term growth and contributing to the economic development of the region.
A boost for the local economy
A&M has grown from a two man start-up in 2002 to a workforce of 82 with sales over £8 million, creating new jobs by applying its engineering expertise in CNC machining, spark and wire electro discharge machining and toolmaking with continuous investment in new technology.
The investment marks a significant milestone for A&M and a positive development for the Sandwell community. With plans to continue expanding its services and workforce, the company is playing a key role in driving local economic growth and supporting the region's engineering sector.
Positive Impact
Mark Wingfield, managing director of A&M EDM, said: “Sandwell Council’s support was important; the grant was a refreshingly straightforward process and accelerated our investment in a new machining centre to increase our manufacturing of precision aerospace components.”
Sandwell Council’s cabinet member for business and skills, Councillor Sukhbir Gill, said: “This is a great example of how, working in tandem with business, Sandwell Council is determined to drive growth and increase employment. We want Sandwell to be the location of choice for business and would encourage anyone in business or thinking of starting a business however big or small to contact our Sandwell Business Growth Team.”
Well done to the entire team at A&M.
