DCM's investment of almost £500,000 in Trumpf's HSL 2502C, enables laser-profiling of sheet metal to be undertaken three times more quickly when measured against conventional single head examples.

The acquisition of a Trumpf V130 press brake brings a variety of competitive advantages to the business, including the speed of set up being heightened by a quick-change tools system, which optimises productivity. The accuracy of the V130 also enables DCM to shape and form intricate components.

Underpinned by a recent investment in an MRP system, DCM is able to significantly reduce the time and cost of manufacturing bespoke components which would normally be uncompetitive.

This ability to deliver tailor-made components from sheet metal of varying materials and thicknesses is core to DCM's strategy of diversification.

DCM continues to provide specialist components to some of the biggest names in the automotive sector, but has expanded its customer base to include a broad range of businesses involved in the waste, display signage, sound recording and retailer sectors.
