That’s it, we’ve done it…12 months of challenges, changes and progress….is complete. The Extreme team has been working hard – Hannah Bailey our Operations Manager has overhauled our processes and systems and we are confident that they are more robust than ever and our ISO 9001 will soon be in place. Co-owner & Director Symon Bye is taking brand Extreme to exciting new markets and his unbelievable contacts are opening up fantastic new opportunities. Kevin Tamblin, our Contract Engineer, has done a great job in revamping our engineering and drawing systems, whilst Managing Director Mark Brown, apart from bringing the new team together, has been focused on getting all the manufacturing closer to home.
On that point we have some exciting news – our new manufacturing partner for aluminium products is Greenfield Engineering. Based in North Devon they are perfectly placed to support the expanding Extreme business.
Mark Brown explains why Greenfield is such a perfect match for Extreme:
‘Greenfield brings experience and capabilities that strengthen the Extreme business…and amazingly they are just down the road from our North Devon offices! Their over 4000sqm highly automated plant has features ideal for our product and project mix.
- Amada Punch laser combination
- Amada Automated Punching with 45 different tool locations in the punching turret
- Amada Robotic Bending
- Salvagnini Automatic Panel Bending perfect for forming large Extreme case panels. Amada Punch laser combination
- Fully automated Auto-Tech shuttle fed MIG welding robot cell
- Not just 1, but 2 independent state of the art fully automated pre-treatment powder coating lines.
The first products are now coming through the factory and we are so pleased with the quality and how easy the Greenfield team has made it look! This is an exciting new partnership and we are looking forward to a successful future”
Mark Brown also took the time to recognize the part Extremes previous partner, Hallmark Sheetmetal, had played in getting Extreme to where it is today and thanked Paul and his team for all the support over the last 6 years.
And the news doesn’t stop there; Extreme has invested in in-house test facilities to make sure we deliver what we promise. A high pressure 100l/m water jet rig has been set up at the factory to test for water ingress up to IPx6.
If that’s not good enough, we also now have a 1.8m water tank where we can pressurize and submerse our cases for the more Extreme requirements.
We told you we had made some changes!
Exciting times for the Extreme team, give us a call if you want any further details on the changes…or if you want to discuss new projects.
Best regards
The Extreme Team
