Stuga Cutting Machine Now Installed

January is usually one of the quietest times of the year for many businesses, with us being no exception! This is why we decided to have our new £350,000 Stuga ZX5 Cutting Machine installed. In typical fashion, this year has seen us have more advance work than ever before.   The Stuga ZX5 is a very high output sophisticated sawing & machining centre. In more simple terms, this machine will allow us to more than double our window production rate from around 350 windows per week to over 700! In 2017 we began manufacturing more windows than ever before, this is partially down to advancements in technology allowing us to do this. We now have one of only 6 of the Stuga machines to have been installed so far. Our Managing Director, David Dowling believes “It’s a huge investment, but we are confident it will be worth it” Our Inverness Factory manufactured 25,000 windows in 2018, which we are hoping to build on and increase for 2019! Manufacturing time of windows has also drastically decreased with the average manufacturing time dropping from 5 hours to just an hour and a half! With both domestic and commercial job numbers rising, we feel that this investment will be very worth it and made worthwhile by our increase in production levels. Everyone at the Cairngorm Group is excited about our latest investment and are hoping to grow the business further in 2019!
