Bott has won the Large Manufacturer of the Year category at the inaugural Cornwall Manufacturers Group Awards. Award applicants were subjected to strict judging criteria which included site visits to allow judges to go beneath the surface of businesses and understand the true performance of the companies.
Quality begets quality, and when it comes to the machines we use in our factory, there are no exceptions. In order to make a product that lives up to the Built to Last standard, we ensure we use machines that work cleanly, efficiently and always to our exacting requirements. The Salvagnini P4xe is a recent investment that helps our factory fulfil the expectations set down by our Built to Last ethos.
As a company, Bott prides itself on supporting projects determined to push the boundaries of science engineering, technology and manufacturing in the effort to create something truly exceptional. Bloodhound SSC's goal of building a supersonic car that will beat the land speed record is undoubtedly one such project, making their visit to our Bude facility on Friday 26th September a cause for great excitement.
Emily lives in North Cornwall with her husband and two young children and has a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which affects her joints and other structures in her body. Emily aspires to represent Great Britain at the Rio 2016 Olympics and is currently training and competing on her Scottish Sports Horse Woody (Woody Allen MF) in both para and able bodied dressage.
Without quality equipment and reliable manufacturing methods, a great idea rarely becomes a great product. Part of the Built to Last philosophy is ensuring that the machines we use in our factory produce high quality, durable pieces as efficiently as possible and with this in mind, our investment in Amada's EM Mark II punching machine represents another big step towards that goal.
