Gripple Automation has expanded rapidly in recent years to become a multi-million pound business – which is why it has moved into new premises in Sheffield.
The new premises is more than double the size of its original production site at 13,140m². It provides a cleaner, more modern environment and now boasts dedicated proof-of-principle area, more machine building areas and a larger in-house machining department.
These new services combined with more space are allowing the manufacturing automation specialist to streamline its standard operating procedures while taking full advantage of new opportunities provided by the expanded factory.
The facility houses new equipment as well as new people with four new starters last year in design, production and in-house manufacturing as well as a new apprentice. Meanwhile, the company says that business is booming, with a number of machines having been recently delivered which are making space for the next batch of new machine builds.
