New flat bed milling machine

We’ve invested in a new flat bed milling machine to cope with increased demand for the Renaissance flat screwless plate launched at Decorex 2023.

Due to the bespoke nature of the modern Renaissance design, the new MLCube commissioned from DATRON will further streamline our manufacturing processes and enhance capacity. The new CNC machine will reduce machining time for Renaissance enabling us to increase productivity for this industry leading product.

Last August we invested 40K in a new hydraulic swing beam guillotine at our No 22 facility. This critical piece of technology for precision cutting different sheet brass and stainless steel material thicknesses has enabled us to reduce metal waste and improve production efficiency.

In November 2023 we invested £90K in a new CNC machine and signed off on a new replacement paint spray booth installed in December of the same year at a further investment of £20K. This followed a previous investment in excess of £120k for another CNC machine and cobot feed in 2022 as part of an ongoing investment programme into new technology and equipment.

Managing Director, Gary Stevens comments: “Our philosophy at Focus SB has always been to be the number one manufacturer of luxury electrical accessories, and that means investment in innovative new products as an ongoing process, in addition to continual investment into new technology and equipment. It is our intention to be at the forefront of technology and automation whilst maintaining and developing artisan craftsmanship, blending them together to produce beautiful products.”
