Texcel are investing in expanding the office and manufacturing facilities, with the help of Kent Ceiling Solutions. We see their Wayne Miles, fitting the frames.

This will meet our needs during 2025 to ensure we have capacity to react to our customers plans. This is coupled with automation and process control investments Texcel are making to improve productivity and customer service.

The general emphasis from customers appears to be one of risk mitigation, with a focus on UK manufacturing and reductions in extended supply chains, with dual sourcing of parts and blank PCBs. Our customers purchasing managers are starting to consider what the next shock might be, and how to minimise its effects. With trade tariffs in the air, and a possible trade war coming there are a lot of things to think about.

Manufacturing complex electronic assemblies for customers is a interesting task, and this month, we have received orders from the UK, Italy, Denmark, USA & France. Texcel is a successful, UK based owner managed business providing electronic manufacturing services to a global customer base.

We were delighted to hear that two of our apprentices, Joseph Ehigie & Umid Uddin, jointly won the “Apprentice of the Year” award by Leigh UTC

Every winter, we make a donation to a local charity. This year we decided to make our donation to Re-instate. Re-Instate have worked at the heart of the local community since the early 60s and focuses on 2 main areas.
