Assyst Bullmer cutting machines don’t just cut fabrics, they cut costs and saving manufacturing time.

Materials are expensive. Time is expensive. Labour is expensive. If you are hand-cutting fabrics, there’s never been a better time to invest in a cutting machine from Assyst Bullmer and take advantage of the super-deduction tax break.

Northampton-based Ocee Designs recently took delivery of a new Assyst Bullmer automatic cutting machine and almost immediately started to reap the benefits of higher efficiency, accuracy and speed in their cutting process.

The reasons for investing in an Assyst Bullmer machine were many: Ocee Designs wanted to achieve greater consistent, more accurate cutting of patterns in fabric and more efficient use of time during the manufacturing of soft seating products – and, at the same time, the company wanted to improve sewing quality and consistency.

Since purchasing the Assyst Bullmer machine, Ocee has achieved its objectives along with better fabric efficiency, averaging 80% usage and reducing waste. Re-ordering fabric for re-cuts has been reduced 80% and the need to take sewn work back to be re-sewn has reduced by 90%. Overall, the footprint of the cut and sewn work has reduced massively.

Ocee also reports savings on labour costs resulting from the speed of the machine. Overtime has gone, even in busier periods, staffing has reduced by three and the whole cutting process has become smoother. Combined with an average monthly fabric saving of 16% since the installation of the cutter, Ocee Designs confirms the machine paid for itself within 12-18 months.
