拢1m expansion planned as South Yorkshire manufacturer builds capacity to meet demand

10 jobs have been created as orders soared with return of industry investment and new markets are targeted

Production underway at LNS Turbo is Wombwell, Barnsley.

A Barnsley-based engineering company has increased production by 25 per cent this year following a hike in post-pandemic orders.

LNS Turbo 海角视频 manufactures chip disposal systems for industrial cutting machines and sells them across the 海角视频 and Europe.

Last year, 1,600 chip conveyor units rolled off its production line; in 2021 it expects to deliver an output of nearly 2,000. The company’s five-year plan to achieve a target of producing 2,500 units per annum by 2025 looks comfortably within reach sooner. The growth has prompted the creation of 10 new jobs, with £1 million to be invested next year.

LNS Turbo 海角视频 operations manager, Mark Scanlan, said: “We’ve seen an extraordinary hike in demand for our products in 2021 as held-back investment during the Covid pandemic has come back on stream and been further boosted by Government stimulus policies across Europe. Businesses have been encouraged to invest in plant and equipment to boost growth and rebuild economies.

“It has gone crazy, with order levels already above pre-pandemic levels and going beyond our growth projections. In January, we set ourselves a £5 million turnover target, we revised that to £6 million by spring and now expect to achieve nearer £8 million in sales by December.”

LNS Turbo, based at Waterside Park, Wombwell, currently employs 61 and aims to recruit an additional 10 people within the next three months, including two new engineering apprentices through the AMRC training centre.

Swiss-owned LNS Turbo opened in 1999 this is the company's only manufacturing site for chip conveyor systems in Europe. New markets are also being targeted.

Described as a world leader in the supply of machine-tool peripherals to milling and turning industries, LNS Turbo's chip management systems enable industrial cutting machines to run smoothly and efficiently by quickly removing the ‘swarf’ - tiny waste filings of metal or other materials produced by all machining processes. If not removed, this swarf would quickly build-up and clog the machines with waste, affecting precision performance and leading to excessive downtime for cleaning and maintenance.
