Stainless guards stacked on a pallet

01 · The challenge

Penrose bought guards, brackets and machined change parts from three different suppliers, and the parts often did not fit together on the line.

02 · Our approach

We took on all three, cutting and folding the guards and machining the change parts in-house, then kitting them per machine.

03 · The result

Penrose now receives one kit per machine, checked for fit before it leaves us. Assembly time on their line fell by a fifth.
