Ian was in charge of the grinding department with a skill set second to none. His experience, knowledge and guidance and above all his friendship [...]
JB Springs have recently acquired the UR10 E series, a six axis robotic arm that is currently undergoing Springtelligence training before it joins the production team.

Over the years, UK manufacturing has declined because we are not cost competitive. Consequently, to compete in a global market we have to do something special. We are not going to be cheaper than our global competitors which means that it is vital that we are more technically advanced. Improving productivity and continuing to be innovative are key factors in ensuring we remain at the forefront of technological thinking. To compete globally, UK manufacturers must embrace apprenticeships to excite [...]
