Building a Sustainable Future with Robotics   At Contracts Engineering Ltd., we're not just about growth—we're about sustainable growth. By harnessing the power of robotics, we've enhanced our productivity so that we can compete against traditional “low cost” countries. When our clients integrate us into their metalwork supply chain, they know that their metalwork comes from environmentally friendly mills, that it is already mostly recycled, and that our factory is powered 100% by renewable energy. Our clients can competitively source metalwork while also supporting the UK’s Green Reindustrialization. It’s a WIN WIN Here’s a recently article about our automation journey: https://lnkd.in/exkG6cgv Get in touch to learn more: https://lnkd.in/djxF9CK #Sustainability #Robotics #AI #GreenManufacturing #UKBusiness #FutureOfWork

At Contracts Engineering, our dedication to quality and innovation continues to drive us forward. As part of our working with a large multinational client with a new all-electric range they were launching from their UK factory, we've enhanced parts of our internal Quality Assurance procedures and upskilled some of the factory team to support the new fabrication processes. Training the team and improving our standards are part of our culture and this case study is another example of us raising our game as we scale-up.
