Long term inward investment has helped EMS Group keep ahead of the field with plant equipped with the latest surface mount manufacturing technology backed up with hi-tech test and inspection equipment. Most significantly, its plant is staffed by engineers who know what it takes to develop an idea, to design, prototype and finally build reliable products that you can count on!
The company, founded 42 years ago, is living proof of what local Kent businesses operating in a global market can achieve, even in these challenging times. Whilst many UK companies continue to look to outsource their manufacturing overseas, these recent awards are testament to the hard work of its staff, most of whom live in or around Herne Bay, Whitstable and Canterbury.
For decades EMS Group has been investing heavily in R&D as a path to keep delivering growth in challenging market conditions and a tumultuous economy.
Whilst many within their industry have faltered or seen dramatic cutbacks EMS has instead been bolstering their business with new products. This has allowed them to invest in staff, plant and machinery and build a long term competitive edge. This strategy of improving long term competitiveness by making their products.
As you would expect service to customers has been a focal point but delivering a more long term strategy has been the underlying mission the whole company has engaged in.
Incredibly proud of what EMS Group has achieved as a UK manufacturer, Manufacturing Director Chris Mulvihill describes how EMS are leading the way for UK manufacturers in today’s challenging UK market environment. “To EMS, being able to continue to manufacture hi-tech products which we can take to market with full confidence in their quality and reliability is everything. EMS has a reputation as the market leader in wireless detection. Everyone at EMS Group was delighted that the factory has received the Best Small/Medium Enterprise award. This is truly an endorsement of the hard work and application that I and the other senior management see daily. I believe that this ethos is key to our continuing success."
Following the awards Chris spoke further about the drive and determination evident from the factory floor to the board room and described the change of thinking which has contributed to its success. “EMS has invested in its people, working methods, technical skills and its plant machinery to keep ahead of the market competition. Our management of the manufacturing process is focused on continuous improvement and innovation. Our factory processes and our supply chain are closely integrated so that we are now very responsive to market demand. We are working smarter, we have increased our focus on the efficiency of manufacturing, and we strongly encourage all of our team to continue to propose new ideas and methods that will improve our processes and technical development."
