Two Midlands based manufacturing and engineering firms are joining forces on a huge six-figure deal
Cube Precision Engineering Ltd and Salop Design & Engineering Ltd have agreed to collaborate in the field of automotive tooling, securing an impressive six-figure deal. The aim of the alliance is to incorporate the technical expertise of both companies into the planning and design and commissioning of the project to tight timescales.
The partnership was formed through a long-standing relationship between the directors of the two companies. Having met through their passion of manufacturing in the UK, particularly the Midlands, at the ‘Made in the Midlands’ peer group. ‘Made in the Midlands’ is a privately run group for MDs and CEOs within manufacturing and engineering firms.
