Case Studies

Thriving signmakers Aldermaston Signs have streamlined the all-important sheet cutting stage of their production process with a ZM12 vertical panel saw from wall saw specialist Sagetech Limited.

Based in Berkshire, UK, the signmaker has an enviable customer list, including corporate giants such as Motorola, Samsung and LG, government bodies such as the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) and a host of local businesses across a broad range of sectors.

Growth, while a good thing and a key goal for many businesses, brings its challenges. For Elite Signs, based in Lincolnshire, in the UK, the issue of sheet material cutting loomed large among those challenges

Established in 1998, the company originally cut Foamex and Dibond manually, with a blade and straight edge, buying other sheet materials in cut to size. This approach was fine while the business was small …

Like many in the trade, Jason Pumford gained his experience and skills working for others, but about eight years ago he took the opportunity to set up his own joinery business, JP Joinery in Flintshire.

Initially specialising in custom made quality joinery, the business has since moved into high quality kitchen and bedroom furniture, with an extensive use of veneered panels, all of which were originally processed on a table saw.
