We are continuing to invest in modern manufacturing equipment, incorporating up to date cutting edge technology. In addition to our first automatic cartridge line - "a world first" - we are installing a second new automated production line end March/early April 2001.

.

This continues our investment programme and represents another unique development at Edwin Lowe Ltd - whilst at the same time another technical leap forward in idler manufacturing methods.
This second new production line has been specifically designed to manufacture our very heavy duty range of cartridges - up to and including, for example:
An 8.0"/203.2 mm o/d x 6308/40 mm cartridge (CEMA E+) - in less than 15 seconds.

Furthermore this new line will provide backup/extra capacity to our existing automatic line - i.e. it will also be able to manufacture all those components presently produced on Cartridge Line No. 1.

As a parallel development - we have recently launched our new range of 6308/40 mm bearing housing cartridges to suit a range of idler specifications to a maximum diameter of 8.0"/203.2 mm. This cartridge is also based upon our extremely successful existing design, which has now gained wide approval by idler manufacturers around the world.

.
During the last two years the company has completely reorganised its business and focused upon bringing their cartridge manufacturing technology up to true 21st century standards. We have therefore:

.
Developed new technology for manufacturing steel bearing housings at rates in excess 
. of 2,000 per hour
Continued to improve our cartridge designs in the light of latest material and component 
. technological developments
In July 2002 - we introduced the Edwin Lowe Ltd brand of ball bearings to our
. customers.  These are manufactured exclusively for us.
These are specifically designed to suit the company's range of bearing housing cartridges
The first two specifications of these new bearings are now on stream and have replaced 
. standard bearings refs: 6204/20 mm and 6205/25 mm. Other dedicated bearing 
. specifications will be introduced in future
The company is also in the process of completely refurbishing its manufacturing
. premises in Birmingham, UK to accommodate its new range of state of the art 
. manufacturing equipment
