Larger premises aids automation company expansion

Gripple Automation has expanded rapidly in recent years to become a multi-millionpound business – which is why it has moved into new premises in Sheffield.

The new premises is more than double the size of its original production site, at 13,140m². It provides a cleaner, more modern environment, and now boasts dedicated proof-of-principle area, more machine building areas and a larger inhouse machining department.

New services and new people

These new services, combined with more space, are allowing the manufacturing automation specialist to streamline its standard operating procedures while taking full advantage of new opportunities provided by the expanded factory.

The facility houses new equipment as well as new people, with four new starters last year in design, production and inhouse manufacturing, as well as a new apprentice. Meanwhile, the company says that business is booming, with a number of machines having been recently delivered which are making space for the next batch of new machine builds.
