Aircraft boarding ramp manufacturer, Aviramp, has seen a 300 per cent increase in production, following an investment last year in new machinery and the development of lean manufacturing principles at its Telford headquarters in the UK.
The company is also building on a hugely successful 2024, with CEO Graham Corfield saying “demand for our ramps has exploded over the last 12 months, with orders coming in from across the globe. The order book is already showing signs of being even better in 2025.”
The company’s investment in new machinery and leaner manufacturing processes has already reaped rewards with a 300 per cent increase in production, added Corfield.
“We’ve redesigned our assembly process and invested in two new linishing machines, as well as a new extractor system for our welders and the introduction of jig manufacture to improve transport efficiency and safety,” he continued. “We’re also looking at ways we can continue to work more smartly over the coming months.”
In addition to expanding its presence in the Telford, the company is also looking at opening a facility in the US and forging partnerships with outside contractors, including aluminium and steel fabricators and hydraulic and electrical wiring loom specialists.
