Erodex UK Ltd have announced further investment, in excess of £1million into its Tooling division, Erodex Tooling Solutions (ETS), following continued growth in this area of the business.

The recent acquisition of a local engineering works has doubled the number of dedicated ETS staff, increasing further the firms already specialised skill base. The introduction of CNC Machining centres, Wire & Die sink machines and fast hole drilling capability now enables ETS to manufacture controlled goods completely in house. This means they are able to protect their own Intellectual Property (IP), as well as that of its growing number of customers.

Director Steve Rolinson commented: “As a result of our latest investment in ETS, we are now capable of offering complete development of EDM Die sinking applications. For many years Erodex have maintained our position in the market for the design, manufacture and asset care of EDM Electrodes.

“Thanks to the recent acquisition, ETS can now support the group with Die sinking trials to ensure electrodes are performing to their full potential. In addition, our association with graphite manufacturers allows us to maximise the efficiency of the machine, maintaining surface finish and improved wear on the electrode. This combination keeps cost down and increases throughput, all whilst maintaining quality.”

The wealth of experience within the growing workforce, particularly within the field of EDM, has created opportunities for the firm to innovate and diversify, added Mr Rolinson.

“Our customers have also been approaching us for a solution to an ongoing problem regarding the verification of features post process. This has led to us developing a state of the art inspection machine that will transform the way these features are inspected, which we expect to be completed by the end of Q3 this year. This is an exciting opportunity for Erodex and one that is eagerly awaited by our customers”.

Building work is currently underway to transform existing offices at the firm’s Halesowen headquarters into a fully contained showroom and conference facility to host the inspection machine, enabling customers to develop and test the machine for their own production needs.

Erodex 是英国领先的电火花加工用品、石墨和石墨加工供应商，在过去的 12 个月里，公司在大量投资后实现了 20% 的增长。

公司在机器和厂房方面共投资 175 万英镑，作为扩张战略的一部分，包括新成立的工具车间的创纪录订单和产品范围的多样化。

董事 Steve Rolinson 评论说："我们对公司在过去 12 个月中取得的进步感到非常高兴，这不仅体现在我们投资新建的工具室取得了持续的成功，还体现在我们提供的石墨材料和电火花加工用品的市场渗透率不断提高。我们已成为各行业的市场领导者，与蓝筹股客户建立了牢固的合作关系。很明显，市场已经开始意识到在放电加工过程中使用石墨比使用传统材料铜更有优势"。

"作为英国放电加工石墨供应和石墨加工的领导者，我们一直在帮助客户改进工艺。例如，最近我们与霍顿国际公司（Houghton International）达成了一项独家协议，负责其电火花加工介电流体在英国的所有分销业务。15 年来，我们一直在供应加拿大生产的一种名为 Commonwealth Dielectric EDM 244 和 Super Supreme 的产品。生产该产品的公司被 Houghton 收购后，电介质的生产也因此回到了英国。我们非常高兴，Houghton 通过与我们签订独家协议，表明了对我们的信任"。

EDM graphite & tooling specialists Erodex have appointed a dedicated Export Manager after a record 54% growth in export sales.

在此之前，该公司与以色列等国的客户签订了一系列新合同，并在北美弗吉尼亚州开设了一家价值 200 万美元的新模具工厂。

总监史蒂夫-罗林森（Steve Rolinson）评论说："由于海外市场对我们的石墨产品和工具解决方案的需求量很大，我们希望继续扩大出口销售并开拓新的市场。在过去的 12 个月中，我们已经看到了这方面的迹象，我们认为现在是任命一位专职出口经理的合适时机。

除了管理新成立部门的日常运作外，劳拉-柯林斯还将确保 Erodex 完全符合英国税务与海关总署的规定，以及 Erodex 目前出口到的各种非欧盟国家的规定。

罗林森继续说道："我们已经逐步向远在以色列的国家提供越来越多的航空航天模具和电极，并在此过程中积累了大量出口到这些新市场的经验。毫无疑问，我们在其他国家也有尚未开发的市场，我们认为现在是招聘一名专门的出口经理来管理这一过程的合适时机。关于英国脱欧对英国工业的影响已经说得很多了，但从我们的角度来看，到目前为止，我们正受益于英镑的疲软，尤其是来自非欧盟国家的需求"。

Erodex 新任出口经理劳拉-柯林斯（Laura Collins）补充说："我一直在国际贸易环境中工作，主要从事出口工作，重点是实施流程和程序。Erodex 的出口销售增长迅速，占总营业额的比重越来越大，这意味着成立一个专门的出口部门来管理这项工作是非常有意义的。不同的国家有其自身的复杂性或要求，作为一个团队，我们现在能够很好地处理这些问题，并在公司激动人心的时刻，为促进海外贸易的增长发挥自己的作用。我很高兴能加入公司，并对未来充满期待"。
