Another Big Thank You to our Customers and Suppliers and to the 350 employees who have contributed to our first full year in business as a JV. From the announcement in November 2014 of the Joint Venture, Lucchini RS and Unipart Rail have worked together to enable LUR to deliver Bogies, Wheelsets, Axles and Wheels from its Doncaster and Manchester sites. In April we have received our second Sirmu wheel lathe with manipulator, moved our Doncaster-based staff into new offices at our Hexthorpe bogie facility and received the keys for our new Distribution Centre for wheelset & gearbox components and off-the-shelf wheelsets, located next door to our gearbox facility in Trafford Park. LUR is unique in the control of its supply chain, with forged wheels and axles coming from the Lucchini RS steelworks in Italy before final machining and delivery “just in time� from Manchester. Wheelset and gearbox assembly and overhaul in Manchester and bogie overhaul in Doncaster complete the picture of full service provision for the traction system.
