Dewsbury-based Rixonway Kitchens has made a significant investment of £450,000 in machinery at its 175,000 sq ft factory to further strengthen its position within the affordable and social housing market and improve its efficiency.
The company has become the first in the UK to install a specialist Fusion machine produced by Italian company Essetre. The machine allows Rixonway to cut and edge its kitchen work tops in a single process halving the time taken band improving safety for workers.
Serious about reducing its environmental impact, the installation has allowed Rixonway to streamline its manufacturing procedures as the edging process is now completed by one machine rather than previously involving two.
Operations Director, Nick Greenall, said: “We manufacture over 12,000 rigid kitchen units a week and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency of the production process. The new system has brought improvements in productivity and energy consumption, as well as lowering transportation and handling requirements for staff, creating a safer working environment.”
The new system was installed by Essetre technicians who travelled from Italy to spend five days with the Rixonway team training them to use the equipment correctly.
This is the latest investment the company has made in machinery and into the expansion of its manufacturing facility which today delivers in excess of 12,000 rigid units a week from its hi-tech, 175,000sq ft plant at Dewsbury in West Yorkshire.
Rixonway Kitchens is one of the leading kitchen manufacturers working in affordable and social housing. With more than 30 years experience operating throughout the UK the company is committed to reducing its environmental impact and takes its environmental obligations very seriously. To meet the current environmental challenges, it has developed a variety of tools, policies and strategies which have been ISO14001 accredited.
