The Carfulan Group, a specialist in advanced manufacturing and 3D printing systems, can look back on a record year. Increased demand from the industrial sector for smart solutions drove sales up by 14 percent to 19.2 million pounds.
“Manufacturers are facing enormous global competitive pressure. Our customers – whether OEMs, suppliers or further down the supply chain – are looking for ways to reduce costs, increase capacity and improve quality,” explains joint Managing Director Chris Fulton. “This is where we come in with our advanced metrology solutions.”
The product range of Carfulan brands such as OGP UK, ZOLLER UK and SYS Systems as a Stratasys partner for 3D printing enables customers to reduce machine downtime and significantly increase production quality. New products and sales investments have driven growth.
Since being founded in 1989 by Andrews and Angela Fulton, the family business has become a key industry partner for design, efficient manufacturing and precision metrology. Over £2.5 million has been invested in a demo center in Derbyshire.
“Choosing the right staff was very important,” says Chris Fulton. The workforce has grown to over 60 employees, thanks in part to a training partnership with the JCB Academy.
For the MACH 2024 trade fair in April, Carfulan is announcing three new high-performance multi-sensor measuring systems for industrial quality control: Fusion 400, Shapegrabber Ai620 and E-Series E7.
With a target turnover of £40 million by 2030, Carfulan aims to drive digitalization and promote Industry 4.0 in manufacturing companies.
