MattressTek diversifies to meet demand through new sub-brand

Multi-award-winning machinery brand MattressTek is undoubtedly renown as a leader in the provision of solutions to issues that manufacturers and processors - industrial, material handling and packaging - face.

Whilst some areas of the sector have slowed, the company has been following up enquiries, including those from their presence at recent trade shows, involving the processing of other materials, whilst sustaining their orders for the mattress and foam production worlds - from the slitting and rolling of flooring and window tinting film to stitching, stacking and packing of solar panels and stuffing of foam into gym mats.

In response to feedback from customers and prospects, MattressTek has launched the AutomateTek sub-brand to differentiate the design and build of machines and production lines for use in the manufacturing, management and material handling in other industries.

Technical director Shaun Peel says: "Innovation is what we do. Adapting and redeveloping our machines to suit bespoke customer requirements so it made sense to listen to the feedback and act on it. As all of our machines have an element of programmable automation, AutomateTek is a logical shift."

Sales director Michael Birtwistle adds: "We'll proudly continue to service the processing of all manner of other materials but want to get in front of those who can benefit from using our machines and adaptive approach for their own solutions. We have found that we can make a machine to solve almost every manufacturing problem."

MattressTek recently expanded their site in Lancashire into the neighbouring unit to enable them to continue their lean manufacturing operations with the internal building of pallets, crates and packing for shipments, as well as accommodating space to showcase new and bespoke machines for customers to see when they attend the site from across the UK and further afield.

With a run of awards wins over the past 6 months, the brand is excited to continue its international trade and export success whilst designing, building and testing more innovative machines to meet the needs of manufacturers and processors to help them prevent issues and solve problems.
