Why the group exists
Fewer gaps between specialist workstreams.
Production projects rarely sit inside one neat category. Products must be fed, moved, processed, protected and packed—often with controls and safety decisions crossing every boundary.
- One front door when the requirement spans multiple companies.
- A named lead business for commercial and technical accountability.
- Early definition of interfaces, acceptance criteria and handover responsibilities.
- Direct access to the specialist team when a project needs only one capability.
Production journey
Feed. Automate. Protect. Package. Inspect. Trace.
The group structure follows the real production journey rather than forcing a multi-disciplinary requirement into a single product category.
Feed
Orient and present components or containers reliably at the required rate.
Automate
Apply robotics, handling, tooling and controls where they create measurable value.
Protect
Design guarding, access and safety functions around the real operating task.
Package
Fill, close, label, code and convey products through a controlled packaging process.
Inspect
Verify product, pack, print, code, weight and quality at production speed.
Trace
Create, read and connect product identity to reliable production records and decisions.
Specialist finder

Choose the closest requirement. The site will route you to the most relevant operating company or to the group team for a connected project.
Project pathways
A practical model for connected delivery.
These illustrative pathways show how responsibilities can be divided without presenting unverified customer claims or hiding the specialist company leading each workstream.
Pathway 01
Component presentation into automated assembly
Sortation defines feeding and orientation; Industrial Automation develops the handling, tooling and controls; Machine Guarding establishes safe access and protective measures.

Pathway 02
Packaging line with automated handling
Lancing leads the packaging process while Industrial Automation supports robotic handling and Machine Guarding protects operator interfaces and access points.
