From humble beginnings in the late 1940’s Clamason Industries has grown into Europes’ leading manufacturer of precision pressings. Created by the current Managing Director’s Father, and still in private ownership the company specialised in small, complex parts utilising both multi-slide and low tonnage high speed presses - an expertise that remains a core competence.
The business developed during the 1960’s manufacturing boom and was involved in projects as diverse as car hub cap retainers and tiny Hi-Fi components.
From the early 1970’s Clamason secured a marketplace for its’ precision pressings in the dynamic world of the personal computers, relocation to larger premises, the addition of sub-assembly and larger presses helped facilitate the company’s rapid growth.
With the exodus of the computer industry to the Far East, Clamason refocused and diversified. Thanks to the investment in larger machines, and robotic welding facilities the company was able to target the expanding automotive safety sector, specifically airbags, which along with in-car-entertainment became a major growth area.
The company also recognised the need for quality systems and training, adding a National Training Award to BS5750,and then onwards to QS9000 and accreditation to TS16949.
Again the company re-focussed, taking into account the desire by many multi-nationals to reduce their direct manufacturing, and sub-contract their press work requirements. Over a five year period in excess of 500 tools were relocated to Clamason as the company proved its’ ability to competitively project manage major realignments of its’ customers strategies.
Looking forward, new product areas include the medical device market, and amongst others, domestic metering. No single industry accounts for more than 30% of turnover, and no single customer more than 11%. Clamason has outgrown its’ site again, and will shortly open a second facility locally, plus a satellite plant in Eastern Europe to enhance its’ JIT service.
With diversity of market expertise, single status committed workforce, and exacting quality standards, Clamason Industries is Europes’ leading manufacturer of precision pressings into the new Millennium.
