Jason Pitt, the CEO of Made in Group, embarked on a significant visit to Greene Tweed's Nottingham site, setting the stage for an upcoming Best Practice event scheduled for May 9th. This visit not only highlighted the partnership between Made in the Midlands and Greene Tweed but also provided a firsthand glimpse into the innovative practices and commitment to excellence that define the company.
Greene Tweed, with over 160 years of expertise, stands as a beacon of ingenuity in designing and manufacturing materials and components that excel in the most challenging environments across industries such as semiconductor, oil and gas, aerospace, and more. With a focus on continuous improvement, they have optimised their processes, incorporating real-time data management, expert workspace organisation, and employee well-being initiatives.
During his visit, Jason Pitt had the opportunity to witness firsthand the meticulous organisation and cleanliness of the factory floor, reflecting Greene Tweed's dedication to operational excellence. He commended the company's discipline and highlighted the value it brings not only to its global clientele but also to the local community. The visit was more than just a tour; it was a testament to Greene Tweed's commitment to best practices and its role as a leader in the manufacturing landscape.
Tony Baldassarra, the UK Site Lead of Greene Tweed, emphasised the significance of their workforce, stating, "For us, our people are the most important part of the business." This sentiment was echoed through initiatives such as the on-site gym, meditation room, and subsidised canteen, ensuring that employees are nurtured both personally and professionally. Additionally, Greene Tweed has addressed the challenge of recruitment by introducing an accelerated training program, empowering employees with essential skills in a short span of four months.
Beyond its operational excellence, Greene Tweed is committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Recently, the company achieved ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification for its UK branch, a testament to its dedication to minimising its environmental footprint. This achievement aligns with Greene Tweed's broader mission to create innovative products that not only excel in performance but also contribute to a sustainable future.
Furthermore, Greene Tweed's proactive approach to addressing industry challenges was evident in its response to the semiconductor shortages. By implementing robust Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) and diversifying its supply chain, the company ensured uninterrupted supply to its customers, thereby underscoring its commitment to customer satisfaction and reliability.
As Greene Tweed continues to innovate and expand its global footprint, its vision remains centred on being a trusted technology leader and delivering value and innovation in everything it does.
The upcoming Best Practice event on May 9th presents an invaluable opportunity for members to learn from Greene Tweed's expertise and glean insights that can drive their own success in the manufacturing industry.
