AWS Group acquires Cemgraft
Cemgraft is a highly successful business in its own right, having grown rapidly to a GBP14 million turnover in just seven years
At the same time the company has invested heavily into new equipment and training focusing on lead free assembly, test and inspection; also, sophisticated IT systems and development of a major cable and harness assembly facility.
The company has now invested in a fourth very high standard surface mount PCB assembly line, to keep up with demand that has grown by over 25% year-on-year for three years now.
The growth and re-investment marks a formidable turn-around, since the electronics industry's low point, following the twin shocks in 2001 of the dot.com bust and the Twin Towers terrorist attacks; this commitment is a strong vote of confidence in both its own future and the future of British manufacturing.

AWS provides medium volume electronics manufacturing services to demanding industry sectors such as aero-defence, medical, rail, food and scientific equipment.
Such growth can only come on solid foundations of excellent performance and strong relationships with their clients, the majority of whom have been with AWS for over five years.
Despite prevailing attitudes in the country, the Staffordshire firm fears little from Eastern European and Far Eastern competition, as these companies cannot offer the same powerful combination of constantly available dedicated expertise, flexibility and service.
AWS engineering support is local, being in the same time zone, language, processes and culture.
Production, technical support and deliveries are extremely responsive to customers' fluctuating demands - and the attitude of the entire workforce is can-do, problem solving and positive.
The way in which the company is organised is designed to assure clients of dedicated, flexible and complete manufacturing services.
AWS has comprehensive and modern facilities for manufacturing PCB assemblies, electrical and electronic subassemblies and finished products; also, cable and wiring harnesses for the military, aerospace, medical, rail and other demanding industries.
The uniqueness of AWS, however, is in the broad range of value-added services that it offers, such as design and production engineering, parallel engineering with clients' development teams, prototype manufacturing, kitting, line-side delivery, after-sales services such as repairs, refurbishment, upgrades and obsolescence management.
