Bathroom furniture manufacturer Utopia has completed its latest round of investment in machinery at its Wolverhampton-based headquarters, to provide additional capacity.

The addition of a Morbidelli UX200 drilling machine in December, now fully operational, is the fourth machine to be commissioned in the last 12 months, representing £500,000 investment.

These machines provide additional capacity and, in certain cases, replace older models with new technology.

Specifically, the Morbidelli UX200 drilling machine reportedly reduces machining time by 50% and in some cases 80%.

While a Homag BHX and a new Homag Drillteq ABD are claimed to offer improved quality and capacity.

The fourth new machine, a Sandtech Sanding Denibbing machine, allows the preparation of all panel sizes, including smaller pieces, ready for finishing.

Commenting on the machinery investment, Jonathan Phelps, plant and process engineering manager at Utopia said: “Investing in the very latest technology not only ensures we are manufacturing to the highest standards but also gives us a competitive edge.

“In addition, we want to ensure we are manufacturing in the most environmentally friendly way, along with providing the best possible working conditions for our workforce.

“We are delighted with the new investments and the support we have had from our supply partners.”
