摘要

As Precision Edge entered its 30th year of business. it was in a strong position with home and export sales growing. However, the Horsham-based company needed to improve productivity within its grinding section. Detailed research resulted in what it regards as the 'Perfect' solution. A producer of high-quality precision industrial blades and machine knives for the packaging industry, the company supplies many 'household names' in the wrapping and packaging, newsprint, food-processing and recycling sectors. Company director Ross Candfield said: "With business very buoyant last year - particularly export sales - our need to improve productivity and develop new methods of working was paramount. Given the nature of our product, grinding is a vital element of our manufacturing, and we knew we needed to improve throughput in this area."
