Gloucester-based Prima Dental, dental bur manufacturers and exporters, is investing a total of £800,000 into the business to capitalise on the rapidly growing demand for its quality products. Prima Dental has announced that over £700,000 will be invested in additional high performance machinery for its production plant in Gloucester, enabling the company to manufacture over 1.2 million more products each year.
The investment will also lead to the recruitment of an additional 7 staff, including CNC machine operators to support Prima Dental’s expansion. This latest investment comes on the back of record first half year trading figures for Prima Dental, as highlighted by managing director Richard Muller: “The first half of 2013 has been exceptional for us and I am delighted to say we are on track for another record trading year. All our major markets continue to grow and we are seeing an unprecedented pipeline of orders.”
Richard continues: “This latest tranche of investment into the business will enable us to increase production, tap into a wider variety of export opportunities and establish new markets and clients. We’re feeling very confident about our export position and are pushing forward with plans for joint ventures and other trading initiatives in countries like India and Brazil.”
In addition to this £700,000 investment, Prima Dental also injected a further £100,000 of capital earlier this year to fund a trial in automation via robotics on its production floor. Richard explains: “We are continually investing in our production facilities to ensure our products are among the best in the world. This pilot trial of automation via robotics represents another step forward in enhancing our productivity and product quality.”
