  • Ethos:   Raymar Industries - Industrial Balustrade & Handrail Kit Systems 

    AD Fabrications have a strong reputation in the design and manufacture of high quality bespoke balustrading. They have recently enhanced their skills and capacity, in partnership with manufacturing support services in the West Midlands, thus significantly improving turnover whilst contributing to the local community. New CAD tools and processes give customers quick and responsive solutions to their requirements. 

    Raymar Industries - Working with the West Midland Region's Centres of Excellence

    Raymar Industries needed to bring additional manufacturing resource and technical skills into the company. They had received assistance on Computer aided Design (CAD) tools and systems from the Manufacturing Advisory Service – West Midlands (MAS-WM) and Wolverhampton University's Innovative Product Development Centre (IPDC). MAS-WM then referred them on to Manufacturing Challenge 3 (MC3) who supported AD Fabrications in bringing on board a skilled CAD Engineer into their Industrial & Architectural Balustrades & Handrails business.

    New Park Village - Skate & Bike Park, Play Areas, Environmental Centre & Seating Areas.

    Raymar Industries improved the design of a balustrade scheme that can be used in play areas. The design means it can withstand heavy impact, is low maintenance and has superb longevity. One of the first beneficiaries of the system is a skate/bike park. AD Fabrications have also manufactured balustrades that have enclosed an environmental centre on the estate, two further play areas and three seating areas.

    New Park Village, Service Director, Dave Cash enthused: “This system is a fantastic improvement; that makes a real difference to the youngsters that use the facility. By pulling the activity away from the centre of our estate it helps us to make our community a safer place to be.”

    Raymar Industries Graham Handy said, "This project has been particularly rewarding, We knew that our business had the potential to grow but the interventions from MAS-WM, MC3 and the IPDC have really speeded up progress. Our new CAD engineer has helped develop a complete system to handle our processes, we can now respond to our customers in a more professional and timely way."
