While Cymru Industrial Supplies is an established business, the company is relatively new to the gasket sector. However, the team behind the operation brings together more than sixty years of combined experience in gasket manufacturing and supply. This wealth of industry knowledge is helping to shape Cymru Industrial into a leading gasket provider, offering customers exceptional quality, service, and technical expertise.

As demand for its products continues to grow, Cymru Industrial Supplies recognised the need to invest in technology that would support future expansion, improve operational efficiency, and maintain the high standards expected by its customers. Having previously operated an older Zünd PN cutter, the team was already familiar with the capabilities of Zünd equipment and understood the value it could bring to their manufacturing processes. The decision to invest in the latest generation technology was further reinforced after visiting a Zünd open day at the company's headquarters in Letchworth.

We already had a Zünd PN cutter which performed well for us and when we attended the open day and saw the latest machines in action, the difference in both cutting speed and quality was instantly noticeable. We could see how much more efficient the newer technology was and recognised the opportunity to transform our production capabilities.

The team also identified the importance of working directly with a trusted technology partner that could provide expert support and aftersales service. Their previous machine was acquired from another business, which resulted in service availability. James added “Reliable support is critical for any production environment. We wanted the confidence of knowing we had access to knowledgeable experts whenever we needed assistance."

Following the installation of the new Zünd G3 L-3200 with tandem, Cymru Industrial has experienced an immediate and substantial impact on productivity. The machine has enabled the business to increase production volumes by more than 50%, helping the company meet growing customer demand while creating additional capacity for future expansion. The advanced cutting system has revolutionised the way the company manufactures gaskets, delivering faster processing speeds, shorter setup times, and exceptional cutting accuracy. The tandem bed configuration further maximises production efficiency by allowing continuous workflow and reducing downtime between jobs.

Beyond productivity gains, the investment has delivered significant operational benefits across the business. The precision of the Zünd system has improved product quality while reducing material waste, helping Cymru Industrial lower production costs and support its sustainability objectives. The flexibility of the platform also allows the team to respond rapidly to changing customer requirements and expand its product offering with confidence. James added "The investment in our Zünd digital cutting system has played a significant role in helping us achieve our operational objectives. The increase in production efficiency, combined with reduced setup times and improved precision, enables us to consistently meet customer deadlines while maintaining the highest quality standards.

James added “The flexibility of the system allows us to adapt quickly to customer needs and explore new opportunities within the market. It has become a key driver of business growth and has given us a stronger competitive advantage."

As Cymru Industrial continues to expand its presence in the gasket industry, the investment in Zünd technology demonstrates the company's commitment to innovation, customer service, and long-term growth. By combining decades of gasket manufacturing expertise with industry-leading digital cutting technology, Cymru Industrial is well positioned to become one of the UK's leading gasket suppliers.
