The company has established new manufacturing facilities in Epping following a move from its historic site in Walthamstow, where it was founded some 60 years ago by Thomas and Edward Goss.
The transfer of equipment and machines, and all services installations were completed in-house by Goss' own maintenance team. This included the transportation and reinstatement of large hydraulic presses - one of 250 tonnes capacity.
The new site will provide additional space for new machines and a fully dedicated quality control laboratory - the latter being particularly important as Goss Springs continues its successful penetration of demanding market sectors such as automotive, aerospace and defence.
Goss Springs is ISO/TS16949 (Automotive) and AS9100 (Aerospace) accredited.
Managing director, Nicholas Goss expresses confidence in the growing fortunes of the UK manufacturing sector. Like many SMEs who have seen volume manufacturing orders move offshore, he believes much of this is beginning to return to the UK due to a variety of factors, not least product quality, shipping distances and soaring labour costs for some overseas manufacturers.
