The company has seen a 300% increase in production in 2024, with sales of more than £9m and 750 of its ramps in use across the globe.
Investment and Growth
Chief executive and company founder Graham Corfield said the investment came off the back of a record-breaking 2024, which was its most profitable to date. “Demand for our ramps has exploded over the last 12 months, with orders coming in from across the globe. And the order book is already showing signs of being even better in 2025."
Aviramp's Lean Manufacturing Transformation
“It is vital that we can service all those orders as efficiently as possible, so we have made a significant investment in new machinery and introduced a trial of new, lean manufacturing processes to do so. The results to date have been absolutely superb, with a 300 percent increase in production in our early trials."
“We’ve redesigned our assembly process and invested in two new linishing machines, as well as a new extractor system for our welders and the introduction of jig manufacture to improve transport efficiency and safety."
Efficiency Gains at Aviramp
“On top of this, we’ve moved a few things around on the shop floor to improve working efficiencies and are also looking at ways we can continue to work more smartly over the coming months.”
Wayne Lawrence, who has been overseeing the trial for Aviramp, said the response to the changes had been excellent. “Every member of the team has risen to the challenge of implementing the new processes as smoothly as possible, and the results have been there for all to see. It’s been a great success, and we will continue to develop the improvements as we move forward with Aviramp.”
