A manufacturer of complex cable harnesses and wiring looms has opened a second production site in the Black Country after a surge in orders from new and existing customers.

Teepee Electrical, which has secured more than £500,000 of additional contracts since the turn of the year, has invested in excess of £200,000 in taking on and fitting out the additional 7,500 sq ft unit in Aldridge.

Located just six miles from its existing unit in Bloxwich, the new facility will house machinery recently purchased from a company that went into receivership and the installation of automated cable, strip and cutting machines, ink jet printing and technical crimp presses.

Managing director Steve Clarke said: "We work across automotive, blue light and rail and we've seen an increase in orders across all three sectors, necessitating the need for more space and more staff.

"Our existing facility in Bloxwich had scope for increased capacity, but in order to optimise efficiency, reduce product changeovers and to cope with the variances the new market opportunities are offering us, investing in the second site in Aldridge was key.

"After a comprehensive search, we came across a unit that was undergoing refurbishment. The layout was perfect and gave us plenty of space to create dedicated cells for specific projects and we've now also got the bonus of being able to tap into a new labour pool for employees."

Teepee Electrical is looking to take turnover to £5m in 2022. The company has also started supplying volume cable assemblies to a second tier UK automotive supplier with plans in place to be involved in new vehicle platforms by the spring of 2023.

Clarke added: "In the last month alone, we have increased our workforce by 8 per cent, with further recruitment set to take place for both sites in the coming months. Our team are driven to keep investing and harnessing the future."
