Manufacturing Expansion at Wansbeck Business Park
The company operated a 16,000 sq ft factory at Wansbeck Business Park in Ashington.
Advanced Assembly Equipment for Electronics Production
Arian EMS has bought two new electronics assembly systems: Panasonic NPM-W2 and a Panasonic AM100 system.
The company said that the equipment has enhanced its manufacturing capabilities and offers rapid turnaround times.
Increased PCB Capacity and Chip Placement Output
The investment was self-financed and gives the company the ability to manufacture 50,000 to 100,000 printed circuit boards per month. It provides the capacity for 192 million chip placements per year on a single shift.
Leadership Vision for Growth and Onshoring Support
Founder and managing director Malcolm Humble said: "This investment is a major milestone for Arian EMS. It demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our Ashington facility with world-class technology, and to creating new job opportunities in Northeast England through increased business growth.
"The integration of the Panasonic NPM-W2 and AM100 machines into our site reduces manufacturing cycle times by nearly 50 per cent and brings a much higher level of efficiency to our surface mount department. This puts us in a strong position to support UK-based businesses who wish to onshore their component supply chains, and who are looking for a contract manufacturing partner that can deliver to tight deadlines and to the exceptional level of quality they require."
