The company, which employs 40 people at its facility, demonstrated its quality and speed response could not be matched in China.
It’s a significant victory for the 40-year-old firm, who supplies low and medium volume electrical assemblies for use in CCTV monitoring, traffic management, emergency vehicles, vending machines and automotive accessories.
Cope Technology was recently sold by the company founders to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), giving staff the opportunity to gain a share and voice in its future direction.
This pivotal transformation has been supported by the Business Growth West Midlands in Dudley Programme (BGWM), who has provided the new management team with strategic planning advice and support in employee engagement.
“We have a very strong history and track record in providing world class contract electronic manufacturing, with all of our attention, capital investment and supply chain management dedicated to building assemblies for our customers,” explained Production Director Adam Holmes, who has been with the company for more than two decades.
Cope Technology tapped into the GROWTHmapper tool, a free business diagnostic which SMEs benefit from when participating in the Business Growth West Midlands in Dudley programme.
