See Limited, a group holding company operating in the UK built environment industry, has invested £500k in machinery to improve its productivity and aid growth.

The company operates as a holding company for two businesses in the built environment sector, Performance Panels with its distribution facility in Halifax, West Yorkshire and Bousfields, its production facility in Corby, Northants.

The investment in Bousfields signals See Limited’s commitment to growth thanks to the installation of a HOMAG CNC P-310 and a HOMAG EDGETEQ S-380.

Using the latest cutting edge technology, the energy efficient HOMAG machinery has enabled the company to double productivity whilst providing increased flexibility when producing customer orders. This is thanks to optimisation of the production process which has seen a reduction of operatives required fall from two to one.

Speaking of the investment, Tony Dawson, general manager at See Limited, said: “The implementation of the new machinery forms part of our continuous investment into See Limited’s operating businesses as we continue to grow and evolve.

“We believe in continuous improvement to ensure that we deliver a first-class service to our customers through investment in the latest operational machinery and processes.

“The sustainability of our products are also always at the forefront of our minds and with greater emphasis within the built environment industry to make more sustainable choices, we’re proud to support our customers through our carbon considerate approach. This continues with all new investments made to enhance our fabrication capabilities, considering environmental running costs and factors to mitigate our emission generating activity.”

This latest investment follows a £700,000 injection into new machinery at See Limited’s distribution facility, Performance Panels in Halifax, West Yorkshire in October 2024 to drastically improve its environmental footprint while also revolutionising its day-to-day working operations.
