EOS invests £150,000 in new machinery
EOS Limited, an innovative manufacturer of modular buildings,has invested £150,000 in new machinery, which will further improve its productivity, to meet is growing number of orders.
The state-of-the-art machinery will be used in the steel frame-making process with its hi-tech attributes speeding up production and being accurate to a tolerance of plus or minus one millimetre.
This investment news comes on the back of EOS recently revealing it is moving in to a new market, which has the potential to nearly double its 32-strong workforce and boost annual turnover from £3m to £6m.
EOS, of Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, has created a two storey house which takes only six weeks to construct at its factory and two days to erect on site.
Orders for its new product already have been secured from leisure park owners.
EOS believes it also will attract interest from the social housing sector because of the low-cost and speed of construction compared to traditional homes.
EOS director Michael O'Connell said: "A £150,000 investment in this latest machinery will increase productivity and help us provide an even better service to our clients."
One of the key benefits of using steel frames in the construction industry is the pinpoint accuracy and quality control which can be achieved. The new machinery will further enhance EOS's abilities on both these scores.
EOS designs and manufactures light gauge steel framing systems for the European construction industry and its areas of expertise include social and private housing, commercial buildings, student accommodation, schools, and healthcare schemes.
