70 years of supporting British Manufacturing: Introducing the Kingsbury Step-Up Scheme.
For 70 years, Kingsbury has been proud to support British manufacturers with accessing world-class CNC machine tools, engineering expertise and technical support.
Over the decades, we’ve worked alongside businesses of every size. We’ve seen manufacturers grow from small subcontractors into industry leaders. We’ve helped companies adopt new technologies and supported countless investments that have geared them up for long-term success.
As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, we’ve spent some time reflecting on what that milestone means.
For us, it’s about considering how we can continue supporting the future of UK manufacturing.
That’s why we’ve launched the Kingsbury Step-Up Scheme.
Helping Manufacturers Take Their Next Step
There’s no shortage of ambition in British manufacturing today.
What many businesses are facing, however, is the challenge of balancing growth opportunities against increasing costs and constrained investment budgets.
Manufacturers know they need greater capacity, improved productivity and more efficient processes. But often, they are unable to do anything to change their processes.
We’ve seen that first-hand.
The Kingsbury Step-Up Scheme has been created to help address that challenge by giving ambitious manufacturers access to proven, high-performance CNC technology at a significantly reduced cost.
Our aim is simple: to help businesses take their next step.
Whether that’s increasing capacity, bringing work back in-house or preparing for future growth, we want to help manufacturers to unlock opportunities that may otherwise have been out of reach.
Putting valuable manufacturing capability back to work
After the success of the sale of the INDEX MS32-6, another INDEX multi-spindle is still available – the INDEX MS22-8.
This CNC machine has returned to Kingsbury following the closure of a customer’s business. But rather than simply putting it back on the market, we saw an opportunity to do something more meaningful.
This machine has the potential to make a significant impact. By connecting INDEX machinery with manufacturers that can truly benefit from their capabilities, we’re aiming to help valuable production technology remain active within the UK industry while supporting businesses looking to grow.
Who is the scheme for?
The Step-Up Scheme is designed for manufacturers that are ready to move their business forward but may be facing barriers to investment. Already customers are seeing the benefits of INDEX technology as the INDEX MS32-6 is ready and in action on the shop floor.
You may be facing some familiar questions:
Is your current capacity holding your business back?
- Are cycle times limiting your competitiveness?
- Are you ready to bring work in-house?
- Is capital investment the barrier?
- Do you produce complex components at volume?
It might be time to step up your machining.
The available INDEX multi-spindle machine makes complex and versatile production possible, with faster and more precise cycle times overall.
Ready to take the next step?
While no single initiative can solve every challenge facing the sector, reducing one of the largest operational pressures is an important step in the right direction.
Tell us about your business, the challenges you’re facing and where the right machine could help take your business next.
