Marl forms Manufacturing division with £1/4 million investment
Marl have revealed the formation of Marl Manufacturing, a division focused on electromechanical electronic assemblies for harsh environments including defence, heavy industry and other demanding applications. Marl has invested £250,000 in expanding its design, prototyping, manufacturing and test facilities at its Ulverston, England site.
AccoHe continued, “We can offer fast turn-around and competitive pricing on small volumes, but with our sourcing and logistics expertise we can match offshore manufactured price levels on much higher volumes as well. We provide a very competitive and highly professional assembly and manufacturing service based in the UK to our wide base of customers. It doesn’t have to have an LED in it for us to be able to manufacture it competitively,” he concluded.
Marl has a successful history of manufacturing rugged electronic assemblies serving ultra-demanding defence applications as well as regular outdoor industrial and domestic electrical installations. For example, Marl has announced infra-red LED assemblies that provide energy efficient night vision for military vehicle crews. Marl LED assemblies have also been installed in nuclear power plant control panels, Formula 1 racing cars and a host of outdoor applications.
The newly formed Marl Manufacturing offers cable assembly, wiring looms and box build services as well as sub-assembly or complete system build including electronic PCB assembly. Design and manufacturing of bespoke housings to suit the application environment is a strength of Marl Manufacturing, given Marl’s strength in addressing harsh environments.
