ADS Laser Cutting, a leading metal laser cutting, folding, fabrication, finishing and assembly specialist, which is located at the iconic seven-acre former Fox’s Glacier Mints factory, has unveiled a newly enlarged storage facility which increases its on-site storage capacity for completed products by a third. The expansion has been made to meet increased demand, as well as to improve the overall customer experience.
Utilising previously redundant land within its main gated site, ADS Laser has remediated the land which has CCTV cameras and floodlights for further security. The total storage area now covers two acres. The expansion is not only reflective of the growth that ADS Laser has experienced during the past year among several of its long-standing customers, but also demonstrates the evolving needs of those customers and ADS Lasers’ commitment to them.
Duncan Keates, joint managing director, said: “We work with a diverse range of customers on both bespoke, one-off projects, and volume solutions. For smaller bespoke projects, the finished products are often shipped off to the customer on completion. However, we partner closely with several customers that require a long-term delivery strategy and the ability to store products on-site supports that in a cost-effective way.
“Anyone with experience of sourcing storage space will appreciate how costly this can be. When we realised just how many of our customers could benefit from us offering on-site storage, it quickly became apparent that we had the solution already there in plain sight. Not only does this space offer an economically sound storage option to our customers, it also mitigates the risk of damage to the finished products by reducing the number of times they are transported following completion.”
