Brecon Team
October 2009 -
Manufacturing Company of the Year Award
Brecon, South Wales based
GSM Primographic has won The Manufacturing Company of the Year Award in
the inaugural Powys Business Awards. The company was nominated in three
different categories.
GSM is a first
tier automotive parts manufacturer supplying directly to trackside
throughout Europe for many of the best known International automotive
brands. The products made in Brecon include specialist high performance
labelling, exterior decals and interior cosmetic trim.
General Manager Andrew Farthing and his 50 strong Welsh team have done
a remarkable job in preserving as many jobs as possible and increasing
exports in a very difficult year for automotive companies worldwide.
Mr. Farthing said, “Getting into the award finals this year was a
remarkable achievement but to actually win the award is a huge
compliment to our team. We have had redundancies, pay cuts and worked a
four day week at the beginning of 2009. The factory has demonstrated
tremendous flexibility as our customer schedules have changed on an
almost daily basis. I am really fortunate to lead such a great team.”
With the help of the Welsh Assembly Government PRO-ACT scheme the
company has been able to both cross train and up-skill the workforce
this year. This has given GSM Primographic a significant advantage as
output has begun to increase driven by the European vehicle ‘scrappage’
incentives. The company has just begun recruiting new staff to help
keep up with demand.
GSM Group Ltd. is the Global Service and Manufacturing Group and has
six UK sites including Brecon. All the General Managers from each GSM
site attended the awards ceremony in Llandrindod Wells on 29 September
to celebrate with their Welsh colleagues.
