Trimite announces further major investment plans for the Group

The Board of Trimite are delighted to announce a major investment programme to ensure the Group achieves its 3 year plans for 2008-2010. This is in line with the 90 day plan set out by the Board following the acquisition in May.

 Approval has been given for a major re-build and refurbishment programme at the Uxbridge site which will bring the site up to “Lean” standards for fast flexible flow and deliver improved quality; reduced process times and greater value for money. The multi-million pound investment will involve a major re-alignment of the product flows incorporating the latest Lean thinking on “Quicker, Better, Cheaper”.

Operations Manager Andy Shave said “we are delighted to announce this major investment which lays the foundation for industrial coatings manufacturing for the next decade for Trimite in Uxbridge; the new owners confidence in the business and the strategic plans they have will give us the platform to go from strength to strength”

In addition the Group has commenced a major IT system investment; with the replacement of the existing IT systems. The new integrated IT system, which is planned to go live in January 2008 will deliver faster, accurate information to ensure the business improves and develops and delivers even higher service levels to customers. Business Development manager Steve Wells said “this major investment in IT of over half a million reflects the commitment of the Board to deliver real and sustainable growth to the Group. The new systems will allow us to continually improve all aspects of our business and will underpin the strategic goals set out by the Board following the take over”.
