OE Electrics opened their doors this week to welcome over 40 decision makers from Yorkshire based manufacturing and engineering companies to network, share best practice and industry insights at their new purpose built facility in Wakefield.
The morning began with networking and coffee in the impressive entrance hall to the new facility. The group were able to find seats on a multitude of OE collaborated furniture and have a look at all their products in action.
David Masters, Managing Director of OE Electrics, led a presentation focusing on the growth and development the business has gone through since its inception in 1986 which has led to the need for a new purpose built facility. David emphasised the importance staff culture and employee engagement had on the move and how they were able to complete the relocation in one weekend with no loss of production hours.
To finish off the morning everyone donned their PPE and headed down to the factory in groups for a tour of the manufacturing facilities. Everyone had a chance to view the offices, the test facility, the paint shop, the machine shop, the media lounge, the injection moulding shop, the automated assembly line, the manual assembly department and warehousing. Members also toured the impressive canteen and company gym, to understand the work being done to support the workforce and promote productivity and inclusivity.
