A long-established electro-mechanical manufacturer has received a grant from the Keighley Towns Fund to upgrade its equipment.
NSF Controls, based at Ingrow Bridge Works, are specialists in the bespoke design and manufacture of solenoids, switches, and electro-mechanical services, producing over a million components a year for a global market.
The business was awarded £53,051 to upgrade their equipment to reduce product cycle times, improve efficiencies, and ultimately improve margins.
Sarah Smith-Birch, CEO, said: “Our integrated manufacturing facilities, procurement team, and engineering experts, are all based at one site ensuring an efficient process from design concept to end assembly.
“The investment in equipment means we can maximise efficiencies even further while maintaining the same exacting high standards in world-class quality. The new equipment is vital for our continued growth and for developing new skills within the business.”
Bradford Council’s Portfolio Holder, Alex Ross-Shaw said: “Keighley has a long-standing manufacturing heritage and the Council’s Invest in Bradford team were pleased to have been able to provide business support in modernising key equipment at NSF.
“This support has included support in accessing the grant funding from the Capital Assistance to Business Growth programme, which is funded by the Keighley Towns Fund.”
Chair of the Keighley Towns Fund, Tim Rogers added: “This is a business which has been based in Keighley for almost 80 years. We’re delighted to have been able to support them with their plans for continued growth into the future. We wish them every continued success.”
