Over 1200 sets of spectrophotometry instrument parts are produced by Shearline each year and exported worldwide by Biochrom. Each stage of production, including finishing, assembly and shipment is completed in-house. Having worked hand in hand for more than 25 years and by using state-of-the-art equipment and management processes, the majority of the components produced by Shearline now benefit from a zero inspection by Biochrom.

Andy Webb, Biochrom's manufacturing director, who has championed the partnership commented, "Partnerships such as this, based upon a long business association, are no easy things. As many hours are put into communication and discussion as would be put into any competitive tendering process. However, the rewards of working so closely far outweigh any problems."

Shearline's showcase factory features the latest milling and turning and sheet metal cutting equipment.

A new high speed pallet loading LVD laser cutting machine, together with a collection of multi axis press brakes, enables Shearline to produce the ever increasing complexity of design that Biochrom demand.

Shearline currently employs more than 120 skilled staff and offers a seamless manufacturing solution from design and prototype through to delivery to world-class clients in markets as diverse as scientific and medical instrumentation, information and communications technology, security, automotive and inkjet printing.
