Outsourcing boost for MAN

1 min read

The Manufacturing Assembly Network (MAN) is targeting £5 million of new contracts following the launch of a new strategic cluster to capitalise on growing demand for strategic outsourcing.

Three companies – Mec Com, PP Control & Automation and SMT Developments – have joined forces to give OEMs the chance to access fabrication, electronic and electrical assembly services through a single source. The three companies will provide a dedicated resource for clients looking to outsource their non-core activity, whilst investing more on critical manufacturing operations.

MAN will embark on a six-month marketing campaign to look for potential customers in a variety of sectors, including automotive, energy and food processing. A 12-page brochure and digital media campaign has just been launched, and the group will be attending various trade shows to take the offer on the road.

“A lot of people offer outsourcing, but very few can offer a single source to fabrication, electronics and electrical assembly,” said Richard Bunce, managing director of fabrication experts Mec Com. “For the customer, you get one lead member who controls the complete interaction.”
