FURTHER EXPANSION
Omega PLC has announced that it continues its plans for growth, with further significant investment in plant equipment which is essential in enabling the company to increase production while maintaining its reputation for high quality and for ontime deliveries.
The ongoing investment in plant has facilitated the relationship between Omega PLC and Homag Group AG to grow and continue to go from strength to strength. Some three years after completely overhauling its manufacturing machinery and installing Homag edgebanders, saws, drills, presses and CNC routing machines, volume growth has to prompt Omega to invest further with the addition of a new Centateq P110 point to point drill. This is the second of these machines that Omega has acquired and will help to add more routing and drilling capacity to the production floor.
Commenting on the acquisition of the machinery, Alastair England, Operations and Production Director of Omega, said, “Homag is a vital partner of Omega and are fully “Homag is a vital partner of Omega and are fully integrated into the business, ensuring that we have the best fleet of machines to meet our quality and growth plans for the future."
integrated into the business, ensuring that we have the best fleet of machines to meet our quality and growth plans for the future, all backed up with a class-leading support package. We believe that our very strong partnership, where over 95% of the machines in our factory are made by Homag, will ensure that we can achieve these goals.”
Further to the installation of the Centateq, a new Sawteq B400 saw will also be installed in February. This will allow more efficient cutting of MFC for both doors and carcasses which will increase production capacity yet further. On a recent visit to Omega the new CEO of Homag Group AG, Dr Daniel Schmitt stated, “We find the growth plans of Omega particularly exciting and Homag is fully in its support. With these two new machines, we can see the importance Omega places on ensuring that their production capabilities remain at the forefront of technology and that the company has serious intent on it aims to be in the future.”
