CMS Cepcor has recently been granted planning permission to substantially expand their facilities at their Coalville headquarters in the UK. This new expansion includes the construction of a new purpose built head office that will incorporate its research and development, inspection, sales, administration and crusher training facilities alongside the substantial expansion of its existing crusher parts storage and distribution warehousing.

The new development of the facilities in Coalville is planned to commence shortly and to be completed in Q1 2015. This latest development follows the recent substantial investment in the CMS Cepcor™ technical centre in Coalville which was commissioned in 2013. This subsequently included the integration of Baguley Precision Engineers, the wholly owned UK manufacturing subsidiary business of CMS Cepcor into its Precision Services Division.

The new technical centre represented a substantial investment in new premises, and CNC manufacturing capability, which has further enhanced the manufacturing, inspection and repair facilities in Coalville and provided greatly improved manufacturing efficiency for the company. These approved facilities include CNC, milling, turning, boring, slotting, grinding, drilling, pressing, welding, co-ordinate measuring, material testing and assembly. Alongside the UK manufacture of crusher, screen, feeder and coating plant spare parts, the company is also experienced as a machining contractor for other industries.

Lee Hodges, Commercial Director, commented: “In recent years CMS Cepcor has increasingly consolidated manufacture of our precision machined crusher spare parts in-house and the expansion facilities in Coalville will help to ensure we remain the genuine alternative to the original equipment manufacturer.”
