At the height of the pandemic In March 2021, RSD Pressings extended their purpose built facility in Cannock to accommodate capacity and storage. Now, the company has plans to invest in a bigger press line to support a major project for a new customer.
Established in 1962 RSD Pressings is a leading UK manufacturer for the automotive and building industry, who specialise in delivering quality assured manufacturing solutions.
The past 18 months have been difficult to say the least for both people and businesses. In early 2020, RSD Pressings was one of many manufacturing companies who shut their doors and furloughed many of its staff due to the pandemic. However, since reopening the firm has increased their order book and have managed to bring all furloughed staff back on board. Daniel Burton, Operations Director at RSD pressings, said:
“Our order book increase has led to diversification of the business and adding product types we have not previously done. When supply chains stabilise we will see a significant change in sales as volumes get back up”.
RSD Pressings responded quickly to the changing market that the pandemic brought by extending their facility, at the beginning of this year, by a further 9000 Sq Ft. This was tremendously built within just two weeks with 95% of the building being fabricated off site.
The plans for a new press line will come as another success under the company’s belt, creating 8-10 jobs over the next 12 months. As a result, they will also be investing on ancillary equipment to support production and improve overall efficiency as a business.
With future plans to expand, RSD Pressings are at the forefront of innovation and growth. Their recent changes and previous 2019 investment into a laser and press brake, as well as their more recent purchase of a nitrogen tank has secured RSD Pressings bright future as they move to a 24 hr production with increased storage and capacity.
