Case Study

North Devon Electronics

North Devon Electronics boasts many years of practical experience within the coil winding and electronics industry historically operating out of Braunton, Devon. The company are now expanding into purpose built facilities at the Group’s Engineering Centre of Excellence in Cullompton, Devon.

The growth and customer reach by the business has been significant to date. To help support the company to continue on its growth trajectory it became evident that further operating space was required along with an investment in new technology.

Investment type:
Infrastructure and capital equipment

Amount invested:
£1 million

Date of investment:
July 2023 - July 2024

Solution

The management proposed to move to the Group’s Engineering Excellence Centre based at Cullompton and invest in its moulding capabilities.

This would leave the skills and capabilities of ‘winding components’ as established at the Braunton site, whilst providing an enhanced facility for moulding and product quality inspection at Cullompton. Final product shipment would happen at Cullompton, as it is ideally positioned close to the M5 motorway corridor. The Goonvean Group Board supported and approved this proposal.

Outcome

The implementation of the project has provided immediate new and valuable space, improved capabilities and a refocus for the company to expand its customer base at a time of high demand.

“NDE's newly built facility not only provides greater scope of service but additionally significantly reduces waste and ultimately our Carbon footprint. Working alongside the Electronics centre in North Devon our new Mid-Devon site increases customer service and helps open up new markets.”
