Hoist UK and AJB Precision combine operations Two manufacturing companies have brought together their production operations under a single roof.

Hoist UK has announced it is now sharing a new facility on the Wirral with sister company AJP Precision Fabrications, international magazine Hoist reports.

The lifting and mechanical handling equipment company moved to the new prefabrication plant in Bromborough following its expansion, something that may interest operations management specialists.

It last shifted its manufacturing base three years ago and now requires more capacity, while the latest relocation allows it to take advantage of AJB's in-house CNC machining facilities.

In addition, AJB director Phil Williams said Hoist UK's design facilities provide it with access to a range of solutions, including AutoCAD inventor software.

Hoist UK director Tony Dickson told the news source housing both companies under one roof "will allow us to offer seamless integration of our own manufactured products and those of our internationally renowned suppliers to our clients".

The firm supplies lifting and handling equipment to the industrial and entertainment sectors around the world, integrating its own equipment and services with those from other firms.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800118802-ADNFCR
