Castell improves manufacturing process

Castell has redesigned its
manufacturing process to
increase flexibility and reduce
delivery times. As a result,
the company has received the
Manufacturing Excellence
award for 2012 from its
parent company Halma,
beating off competition from
40 other Halma subsidiaries.

According to Halma,
“Castell has transformed its
manufacturing capability
through a combination of
product design innovation,
excellent application of lean
manufacturing and an
ambition for international
expansion. Today it has an
incredibly efficient UK
manufacturing base and an
assembly shop in the Halma
China hub, which is now
making the majority of
company output.”
