Investment boosts capability at Key-Tech Electronic Systems
Key-Tech Electronic Systems Ltd exhibits at Northern Manufacturing and Electronics for the first time. The Kirkcaldy-based subcontract electronics manufacturer will be highlighting its enhanced capabilities following its recent £0.5m investment in new machinery. The acquisition of two new Yamaha Modular Surface Mount machines have improved throughput and accuracy, enabling the firm to better target new markets and opportunities, both domestically and overseas. Increased insertion capacity of up to 90,000 components per hour will enable further expansion into the nuclear, aerospace, science and technology and infrastructure sectors. The company sees great potential in export markets, particularly Europe and Japan, as well as rail projects in the UK.
The company employs 60 staff and has an annual turnover of £5 million. Its Director, Jim Spence, said:
“We’ve grown organically over the last 21 years and are ambitious. We believe that now, having invested in new, cutting-edge technology, we are in a strong position to expand. The new machines ensure we can meet client needs more efficiently and accurately, whilst allowing us to move into new markets, many of which are overseas.”
Key-Tech Electronic Systems Ltd received funding through the Fife Investment Fund grant, administered by Business Gateway Fife (BGF), to improve businesses processes, market development and workforce development.
