New article out now highlighting the precision, quality, and sustainable practices behind our copper tube manufacturing process! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/eyPC_sPz

We’re excited to share a new video showcasing the complex process of transforming copper tubes into high-quality fittings, featuring insights from one of our expert team members Mark Tandy! At Wardtec, sustainability and efficiency are at the heart of what we do. Our copper tube manufacturing process involves forming and manipulating the material with zero wastage during critical steps. We start by forming the tube end over, resulting in no material loss at all. The only by-product we generate is swarf, which occurs during precise operations: facing the front, undercutting the back to eliminate burrs, and finally parting off the piece, which naturally produces a small amount of swarf. What makes our process stand out is that even this by-product is handled sustainably. The swarf is collected monthly and, along with any other scrap, is 100% recyclable, ensuring that nothing goes to waste in our production cycle. Check out the video below featuring our Ambassador Peter Booth (Known as PB Plumber) to learn more about how we combine craftsmanship and sustainability in copper tube manufacturing. #Wardtec #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #CopperManufacturing #Manufacturing #PrecisionEngineering #CircularEconomy #QualityCraftsmanship #ProperInCopper #Plumbing #Components #Fittings #Engineering

A Memorable Day with Plumbers Through Generations: Factory Tour in Coventry and Wardtec Today, we had the distinct pleasure of hosting a factory tour at our Coventry and Wardtec facilities with some very special guests. marcus bull (known as MB Plumber) with his apprentice, 17 year old son, Peter Booth (known as PB Plumber), and his father, George – a retired plumber with years of experience. Our tour kicked off with an introduction to our family-run business, (now 5th generation), where we shared stories about our company’s heritage and passion for craftsmanship. It was an exciting opportunity to connect over the common bond of plumbing, a trade that runs deep in the veins of both our team and our visitors. We delved into the manufacturing process, giving the group a behind-the-scenes look at how our high-quality plumbing products come to life. From raw materials to precision engineering, it was great to demonstrate the attention to detail and care we put into each piece. Our guests also had a chance to see our rigorous quality inspection process, where we ensure that every fitting meets the highest industry standards. George, with his profound knowledge, was fascinated to see how we inspect copper, being able to view the grain through a microscope. But the highlight of the day was when marcus bull, Peter Booth, and even George rolled up their sleeves and crafted their very own copper fittings! It was a wonderful moment of collaboration and hands-on learning, and we’re thrilled that they could take a piece of the day home with them. Below are some photo highlights of this special day. We’re truly grateful for the time spent with these skilled plumbers from three generations, and we hope to see them again soon. Thanks for coming! #Wardtec #PlumbingInnovation #Craftsmanship #Manufacturing #FamilyTradition #Quality #Fittings #Copper #Coppertube #CopperPipe #Plumbers #FamilyBusiness Shannon Stevenson Robert Lawton

Today, our colleague David Rebeiro attended the IHEEM (The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management) Exhibition, a fantastic event focused on the incredible work done across the NHS. This exhibition gives the NHS professionals a chance to meet OEM manufacturers, service providers, and suppliers – anyone who can make a meaningful contribution to hospital operations. We were excited to reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and catch up with installation companies who rely on our products. We met with OEM manufacturers who produce medical gas equipment and use our 100% recycled antimicrobial copper tube/pipe – a perfect solution for safely delivering oxygen from the plant room to the patient’s bedside. David Rebeiro, our Medical and International Sales Manager, is there on the ground, strengthening long-standing relationships, learning about the latest products on the market, and gaining insights into modular build systems. Sustainability was a major focus this year, with discussions less centred on price and more on how sustainable products are. As the NHS continues its journey toward achieving net zero by 2030, it’s clear that from copper pipe to medical gas devices, everything must now meet the highest sustainability standards. Looking forward to what’s next! #IHEEM2024 #Sustainability #MedicalGas #NHS #NetZero2030 #Copper Millennium Medical Products Ltd (MMPL) Medical International Group MIG Robert Lawton
