South Luffenham-based Linecross Group – which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary – has invested £3.1m in new plant and equipment and is currently working on the development of a few innovative new products for several global brands.
A significant investment has been made in three of the latest vacuum forming machines, one of which will be dedicated to twin sheet forming.
A waterjet trimming centre has also been relocated from the Linecross Cannock site to form part of a manufacturing cell for a large new automotive programme.
Linecross has evolved over the past 50 years and now provides clients in the automotive, leisure and speciality industries with a full design and manufacturing service – from initial design to ‘just in time’ supply direct to trackside.
Commenting on the continued growth of the Linecross Group, chairman David Austin says: “Linecross has been at the forefront of advancements in the industry for 50 years and has established long-term partnerships with many iconic British manufacturers, including Lotus, Bentley and JCB – all leaders in their respective fields.
“Our latest investment in infrastructure and technology at our Rutland headquarters demonstrates our commitment to remaining at the forefront of new plastic and composite materials and technology.”
