Vivalda Group Invests in Cutting Technology

UK’s largest distributor of high performance facades, Vivalda Group plc, has brought the digitally-controlled cutting technology to all eight of its locations across the UK and Ireland. The £250,000 investment in this project consists of the acquisition of an additional seven beam saws, supplied by Schelling and Mayer, and incorporated with Magi-Cut computer controls that ensure total accuracy. Vivalda added more value to its offer by providing minimal wastage through better template design and off-site fabrication. An additional investment was made in plant and technology, including a new dust extraction equipment, forklift trucks, and scissor lifts. These acquisitions reinforce the company’s leadership position in the high performance cladding sector. “This major investment demonstrates Vivalda Group’s core strategy to set new quality standards for the off-site fabrication sector. Contractors and specifiers are demanding total accuracy and zero defects on site. This technology ensures we continue to operate at the highest levels of performance in the industry,” said Ben Jayes, Managing Director of Vivalda Group plc. The manufacturing industry is changing as well and the company has to make sure that the appropriate cutting technology and logistics are used. “Our customers know they can rely on the Vivalda Group to supply their orders on time, accurately cut and knowing each panel will be individually labelled so it can be lifted off the pallet and placed directly on to the wall,” added Ben. Vivalda is the number one supplier of rainscreen cladding and facade panels in the UK, offering an independent service to contractors in support of specifiers and architects. Marley Eternit, Cembrit, Rockpanel, Trespa, and Fibre C. are all products supplied by Vivalda. Established in London in 1999, the supplier employs more than 100 people and has an annual turnover of approximately £30 million. The group operates from eight locations across the UK and Ireland, including the new headquarters in Birmingham. In 2017 it was named one of the ‘1000 Companies to Inspire’ by the London Stock Exchange.
