Investment in production
Luxonic has completed a ten-month programme and a £¾ million investment in expanding its production facilities in Basingstoke to allow for increase in demand for LED luminaires.
Engineering is at the heart of the factory and two mezzanine assembly areas have been installed increasing production area by 30%. The introduction of a ‘Lean Manufacturing’ programme at Luxonic streamlines the manufacturing process, vastly improves efficiencies and motivates the assembly teams.
The investment sees an additional Trumpf 3000 automated punching station and a Trumpf 85 tonne brake press for the automatic pressing of steel luminaire body parts and the forming of luminaire metalwork.
For final finishing, a brand new custom built Ercon Finishing Systems powder coating paint plant has been installed. With a continuous track length of 44m, it enables double hanging of products at an increased track speed, which increases output and improves energy efficiencies.
