ITCM

Supporting the next generation of professional engineers

ITCM has a close relationship with the University of Bath, one of the top UK universities for engineering disciplines. Each year we recruit a number of engineering undergraduates for their ‘Industrial Placement’, which is a 12-month period to gain experience in an engineering business.

Recruiting top engineers is challenging, therefore we are very keen to nurture and encourage engineering talent from the earliest possible stage. We are now seeing success in engineers returning to ITCM for full-time employment after completing their studies.

We have recently said farewell to the Summer 2007 intake of students and have welcomed the Summer 2008 intake of new students, who we are sure will flourish over the next 12 months and will hopefully become top engineers in the future!

ITCM are also pleased to be sponsoring a number of academic prizes at the University of Bath, including an award for the 1st Year combined Electrical and Mechanical Engineering course, and an award for 2nd year students on Bath University’s renowned Mechanical Engineering MEng Course.

Improving service and support to customers

Growing success and development of ITCM’s Aftermarket and Supply Chain section saw the expansion of the team at the end 2007 and the recent appointment of Ashley Beeden as Director of Supply Chain and Aftermarket. ITCM is committed to developing and improving our Aftermarket service offering to meet the changing needs of our customers. This year also sees the expansion of our design teams and further investment in design technology. All new projects undertaken at ITCM are now designed using Inventor - design software which effectively enables ‘digital prototyping’ of our machines. This helps to ensure ‘right first time’ design and helps to minimise project costs and delivery lead time.

Exciting machinery build and development programmes

Following the opening of our extension in July 2007, which doubled the capacity for machine build and development at ITCM, we have wasted no time in putting the space to good use and have enjoyed a busy and varied programme of machine build and development projects this year. Our most recent shipments have included a large, multiple repeat machine order for a major pharmaceutical company in the USA. Other projects have included new machine developments for a wide variety of market sectors, including Personal Care, Feminine Hygiene, Medical Diagnostics and Inhaler Devices, along with new packaging development projects for a variety of Food and Drinks products. ITCM is also very active in the Luxury Goods sector, with recent wins including a major order for a high-speed packaging line for a famous French drinks brand.
