MattressTek expand their business at Forest Mill, Water
For British-made machinery in the mattress industry, a company with all the expertise you will ever need is right on our doorstep. MattressTek have now expanded their business; leasing space at Forest Mill, Water, for storage and manufacturing.
MattressTek was founded by Shaun Peel and Michael Birtwistle who have over 30 years of combined experience between them. Both started as apprentices: Technical Director, Shaun, as an apprentice pattern and tool maker; and Sales Director, Michael, as an apprentice electronic engineer. After clocking up years of valuable experience in the mattress industry, the pair teamed up to establish MattressTek. All the machines manufactured by the company are British made ‘in-house’. MattressTek are proud of their manufacturing facilities and the machinery equipment, Amada, that the company uses is the latest available.
The benefit of using cutting edge technology and state of the art equipment is that MattressTek has total control of every aspect of the manufacturing process, from design through to testing and PDI (pre-delivery inspection). A team of highly-trained CAD designers produce machine designs which have reliability and quality as their watchwords.
MattressTek’s team of engineers and designers take great pride in their work and their ability to offer integrated solutions to the problems faced by the mattress machine industry.
The range of services offered by MattressTek is extensive. From bespoke machine designs to technical support installation and setup, the team is on hand to support clients in the mattress industry every step of the way, including ongoing maintenance and hardware support. Indeed, support is at the heart of everything MattressTek do. The company is committed to providing an excellent service in all respects and take a fully customer-centric approach.
It’s the determination to keep everything focused on the customer that drives the company’s philosophy. It’s this that enables MattressTek to form long-lasting with customers.
Virtually every type of machine used in the mattress industry is available from MattressTek. Currently, the portfolio includes handle/labelling machines, tape edge machines, tufting machines, conveyors and more. Further machines are in development, including mattress making machinery, such as panel cutting and border machines. The aim is to provide a complete portfolio that caters for every need. All the machines are strong, robust and rigorously tested. An example of this is the C90 Tek, a 90-degree mattress turning conveyor. As with all MattressTek machines, the product is fully CE marked and designed to be integrated into either a new or existing application.
MattressTek are part of the Mayflower Group. The three associated group companies have all experienced year on year growth. Originally, AlthamFABTEK, TEK-DRY, and MattressTek all occupied a 30,000sq ft factory space. All three businesses have now completed huge moves to bigger premises in just over two years.
The MattressTek brand has built a reputation for delivering quality and being reliable. The company’s ethos is driven by a desire to continually improve and innovate.
