Elite Flag Ship Centre for Manufacturing UK
Elite Centre - Foundry Spoke (image above)
Funding has now been approved for a flagship Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills (ECMS), due to open for business in August 2017.
This new Centre includes a new teaching foundry and associated patternshop, design suite and sand/met labs which will be used to support the training of the next generation of foundrymen and castings engineers - the so called 'Casting the Future Foundry Spoke'.
Clearly this is a very exciting development for our industry and we would welcome your support and input.
We are now looking to source equipment for melting, casting, moulding, sand reclamation, finishing and patternmaking as well as for additive manufacturing - indeed everything that you would expect to see in a modern teaching facility for foundry technicians.

The event was well attended;
Chris Colllins MD for SYNCHRO ERP said their was a great positive energy for the project; SYNCHRO offered to supply the Specific ERP system free of charge if the center intends to use an all essential integrated suite ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
In this day and age systems are a necessity for all casting manufaturer's. After all you cannot measure what you don't track.
