Ceramicx in June has purchased a new Fresan 20 Tonne Eccentric press with a decoiler. This press was purchased from Rafela distributors in Poland. This press was purchased to improve productivity in the face of increasing demand for Ceramicx Ireland products.

This press is focussed on producing items such as the springs and clips for the mounting of ceramic and pillared quartz infrared emitters.

This fits with the Ceramicx policy of backward-integration: manufacturing all parts with as much productivity and flexibility as possible in order to provide our customers with the solutions they need -  and all this through our ability to innovate and adapt to their needs.
