Welcome to PMS Diecasting
Gordon Panter - Managing Director
History
The company was originally founded in 1978 by my father, Neil Panter. The foundry was located in Charles Street, Sheffield at the back of an existing toolroom whose principle activity was the manufacture of dies for the lost wax investment casting process. The diecasting division expanded but the main activities of the business developed into pressing, grinding and also injection moulding which left the diecasting division isolated and was put up for sale in year 2000.
PMS Now
In November 2000, myself and Robin Mokryj bought the business and we were successful in securing new contracts which enabled us to invest in the very latest diecasting and robotics technology. Previous experience of high volume automation and injection moulding gave us the ability to seek solutions which would generate cost effective and consistent performance. Over a number of years PMS has continually updated its methods and we can now proudly say that we have most technically advanced zinc diecasting foundry in the UK. Our business philosophy has always been to share wealth with the employees and we encourage all staff to invest in the Company share scheme which pays a dividend during the year and hopefully will provide a generous payout when our staff are ready to retire. During 2008 we have expanded our factory into an adjacent unit and this has doubled the manufacturing floor space ready for additional diecasting capacity which is scheduled to arrive September 2008 and in November 2008.
Our technology does not just include the very latest and best zinc diecasting machines, it also incorporates 6 axis robotics, part identification, automated part separation, 100% in line vision quality control and management control system that keeps everything working as is should do. It makes a huge difference to our performance and customer satisfaction and it puts a healthy profit onto the bottom line of the business. We are very proud of our achievements and they don’t stop here, we still believe we are at the very early stages of our development and there is much more to do. Please note that not all zinc diecasting projects fit the way we work but if they can be incorporated into manufacturing cells we will provide exceptional consistent quality and competitive pricing.
