Supplying finished products for customers across a wide range of different markets helped Spooner Industries remain buoyant during the recession. But with more and more customers reducing their lead times, the period from the production department receiving an order, through to completing the manufacturing process, is getting increasingly shorter.

The world’s most powerful sheet metal CAD/CAM software, Radan, has played a major role in meeting those deadlines, by programming and driving their Trumpf laser and Edwards Pearson press brake.

Spooner Industries set up a fully integrated operation incorporating Radan, Autodesk Inventor, the laser, the press brake and Microsoft AX business system.
