A new, dedicated UK Custom Services Centre has been opened by Acal as part of a £2million investment.
The centre, based in Wokingham will offer standards-based (ISO 9001:2008) assembly services and will provide a single centre of excellence in the UK. It will combine a number of the company’s technology specialists with customisable in-house assembly and test facilities. This will provide support for high-quality UK-based design, manufacturing and assembly services. In addition to specialist design teams and in-house testing for pre-compliance to EMC standards, the centre will assemble and customise connectors, fibre-optics, power supplies and microsystems, as well as handling other electromechanical assembly projects.
“By combining services from around the UK into a single technology-led design and manufacturing facility, the Custom Services Centre will enable Acal BFi to react quickly and comprehensively with a range of highly configurable and scalable services built around individual customer needs,” David Gibbs, General Manager of the new Custom Services Centre.
The UK centre is part of Acal BFi’s European strategy that has seen similar custom services and competence centres established in France and Germany. The new centre has created 15 highly-skilled jobs with all staff provided with a formal education programme for continued skills development.
