Duraweld share lean manufacturing experience with Americans

Binding Edge

Customers of UK ring binder and plastic stationery manufacturer Duraweld have benefited from their use of lean manufacturing techniques for four years.  This month their American peers have been learning about the benefits in top trade publication ‘Binding Edge’.

In a magazine which features Duraweld owners Mark Yeung and Hannah Senior on the front cover, Duraweld’s production manager, Jamie Swan is interviewed by Binding Edge, revealing at length the process he introduced into the manufacturing company; the benefits it brought and the process he went through to establish it.

Duraweld regularly opens their doors to organisations wishing to learn from their experiences.  On 3rd March eight people visited the site as part of the Inside Industry initiative hosted by The Manufacturing Advisory Service, and on 25th May 12 printers from New Zealand will visit as part of a UK study tour with Print Yorkshire. This extensive article is a further demonstration of how Duraweld wants to share their expertise to the benefit of the manufacturing industry as a whole.
