Manufacturing Technology Centre ( MTC ). This will enable the team to use their skills and expertise on projects that will interest and challenge them , as well as helping to drive the business forward ” continues Marie .
The CBE + offering now includes Precision Engineering , Gear Cutting , Assembly and Test Facilities as well as the new EDM plant and Electroless Nickel Plating - taking the headcount at the 70,000 sq ft site in Chesterfield from 65 to 88 .
This investment continues CBE +’ s commitment to sustainability and innovation , the new nickel-plating line will be linked with the newly commissioned effluent water treatment plant and combined heat and power ( CHP ) system . The CHP system captures heat generated as a by-product of electrical power generation which is then used to provide heat energy for the surface treatment processes . The effluent plant filters and neutralises all waste chemistry on-site and allows for environmentally safe disposal and recycling .
This is a significant investment for CBE + and one that will bring many benefits to the business and our customers .
