A team from the MTC’s manufacturing support services operation worked with managers and operators from Queens Award-winning die-casting supplier MRT Castings, supporting the organization with the layout of its new facility, automation, and technology selection and robotic handling.

Established in 1947, MRT delivers aluminium die-castings and machine components to leading companies across the UK and Europe from its factory.

MRT reached MTC to get support for the planning of their new 20,000 square feet foundry, designed to accommodate the modern technology and enhance productivity while at the same time providing a first-class manufacturing environment.

MTC engineers, working with MRT employees and managers helped plan the layout for the new foundry, creating 3D CAD models of all existing and proposed equipment, laying it out within the architects’ plans for the building, and running workshops for MRT’s team, using virtual reality technology to enable staff to visualize and optimize the layout before the construction was even completed.

Phil Rawnson, MD, MRT Castings said: “The new foundry underlines our commitment to providing our customers with the most flexible, productive and technologically-advanced die-casting facilities in the UK while providing an exciting, world-class workplace for our valued team. We are grateful for the help the MTC gave us and our people were impressed by the capabilities and vision of the MTC engineers.”

Dean Baker, Director of the MTC’s Business Launch Centre and manufacturing support services team, said: “The work with MRT had demonstrated that as well as helping start-ups bring products to market, they could also use their expertise to improve productivity and competitiveness in well-established and leading SMEs.”
