Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
The initial contract is now in operation until the end of 2001, with an option for a further one year extension.
For the AWE, Morris Swain will be undertaking two contracts over the next two years; the first supplying precision engineering, involving manufacture of machined and fabricated parts and the second manufacturing parts by machining, sheet metal and fabrication, usually to very tight deadlines.
The third contract to complete the hat trick is over three years, supplying the Royal Navy with special purpose seating (shock-absorbing chairs) and other items.
Sales Director, Darryl St John-Bacon, is delighted with the new orders.
"We have worked hard to establish an extremely good reputation for quality and service within the defence industry and these new contracts bear testimony to that." he said.
Morris Swain has been operating in Ferndown since 1980 and continues to maintain its foothold in the design and manufacture of electro-mechanical assemblies, pressure vessels and general mechanical components.
Axiomatic's CEO, Phil Rook, commented "Morris Swain has an excellent track record for providing precision engineering and high quality fabrication services to the nuclear and defence industries.
Our products are pretty diverse; we can be manufacturing an explosion-resistant chair for the Navy one day and fabricating an access platform for a Boeing 747 the next.
The Company's versatility and experience is an asset to the Group.
