Engineering group offers helping hand for UK manufacturers during coronavirus pandemic

Derbyshire engineering group, Carfulan Group, has announced its technology will be available for subcontracting work.

The organisation hopes this announcement will help to ease the pressure UK manufacturers are currently facing as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Carfulan Group includes OGP UK, SYS Systems and Vicivision UK, and all of which specialise in the supply and servicing of multi-sensor metrology, 3D-printing and optical measurement systems. However, with businesses across the country currently struggling with staff shortages and supply chain disruption, the three companies have made the decision to offer their technology for subcontracting work.

Carfulan Group managing director Chris Fulton said: “These are unprecedented times and we’re all facing up to the reality that life is going to be very different in the months ahead.

“However, we know from our experience of working with our 700-plus customers that manufacturing will rise to the challenge by applying the innovation for which the sector is renowned.

“It’s important that everyone does their bit and we hope that we can do ours by sharing the expertise of our highly qualified engineers through subcontracting services, ensuring that those faced with fulfilling orders and satisfying customer demand stand the best chance of doing so.”

SYS Systems is a UK platinum partner for Stratasys and has access to the full range of professional 3D-printing systems at its Advanced Innovation Centre. OGP UK’s multi-sensor metrology solutions employ optimum-performance sensors and probes to complete the work of a traditional co-ordinate measuring machine, as well as a laser scanner and profile projector, with ultimate precision, and Vicivision UK’s optical, non-contact measuring systems cater specifically for turned, ground and cylindrical parts, guaranteeing improved manufacturing efficiency, reduced downtime and increased productivity through superior data analysis.
