As manufacturing companies restart production, possibly with less staff and social distancing measures, companies like MSA can help composite part producers by providing a reliable, high quality outsourcing service for cut to size materials, parts and complete kits. In these times, outsourcing can bridge production gaps and space challenges, MSA says.
Composites UK member MSA Manufacturing (MSA) is an independent company which specialises in the machining, cutting and kitting of fabrics, cores and sheet materials for the composites industry.
Max Osmond, CEO of MSA Manufacturing explains how outsourcing can bridge production gaps and space challenges as industries recommence manufacturing: “During the restart period, MSA can help composite part producers by providing a reliable, high quality outsourcing service for cut to size materials, parts and complete kits. Outsourcing allows companies to control costs to match their demand, and optimise production space for safe working output of their highest added value processes.”
To explain to composites part producers the range of services and benefits of outsourcing kitting and cutting to MSA Manufacturing, a new guide titled – Outsource to MSA Manufacturing with Confidence – is now available.
