Sheffield manufacturer makes £85k investment as demand grows from construction industry

Panel Systems, the Sheffield-based manufacturer of architectural, decorative and composite panels, has made a £85k investment to address the growth in demand for its services from the construction industry.

The company, based on Parkwood Industrial Estate, has purchased two new adhesive spray booths. The investment includes a fully automated, programmable system and a smaller manual booth for bespoke projects.

Sue Stafford, operations manager at Panel Systems, said: “The new automated spray booth gives better control of spray pattern and adhesive. This will help enhance product performance when bonding panels and also ensures that minimal adhesive is wasted.

“The system is fully programmable and should save time and improve efficiency in our factory. The manual booth will give us greater flexibility to bond panels using bespoke adhesive to meet customer requirements.”

This latest investment comes less than two years since Panel Systems invested £180k in a new CNC punch machine to enable it to expand its metal fabrication services to customers.

Panel Systems provides the construction industry with architectural composite panels which are used by window and curtain walling contractors to create facades for new and refurbished buildings.

The company also fabricates a wide range of external cladding boards such as Trespa, Eternit and Rockpanel to compliment its architectural panel products.
