‘ORDERS FLAT OUT’
Planning was the secret of transition success for a Powys company that designs and manufactures electric motor control technology.
“We export to 77 countries, and have 26 sales offices around the world, so we had to be well prepared,” confirmed Control Techniques President Anthony Pickering.
“Planning has been the root cause of our success since January 1 because we’re reliant on our supply chain. Our factories are full. We’re absolutely flat out with orders coming out of our ears.
“We’ve not missed a beat.
Our business is continuing to evolve.” He continued: “Our commitment to Europe has actually strengthened because, during the pandemic, we moved our Chinese manufacturing site back to Wales.”
The company “uplifted the factory, put it on a train across Siberia and reinstalled it here” to increase manufacturing capacity.
“It means we truly are a British manufacturer now, which we’re very proud of.”
