Expromet Technologies Group, a global leader in precision-engineered manufacturing solutions, has announced the opening of a new facility in the Philippines through its subsidiary, Expromet Asia. This strategic expansion aims to enhance Expromet’s global supply chain and provide customers with extended sourcing solutions, faster deliveries, and advanced CNC machining capabilities.
The new facility, located within the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), is a crucial step towards optimising Expromet’s end-to-end supply chain. By establishing a presence in Southeast Asia, Expromet can strengthen existing supply routes and establish direct links with a wider manufacturing base, including key sources in India, Vietnam, and Thailand.
According to Robert Guest, CEO of Expromet Technologies Group, “Expromet’s increased presence in Southeast Asia will enable us to offer our customers greater sourcing flexibility and improve their supply chain resilience. With local warehousing and inventory management, we can quickly respond to changes in production schedules and deliver stock on demand, providing our customers with the flexibility they need in today’s dynamic market.”
The new facility, operating under the name Expromet Asia, will provide a comprehensive range of services, including enhanced sourcing flexibility, reduced lead times, and cost-efficient manufacturing options. By being closer to suppliers across Asia, Expromet can offer more diverse and secure sourcing options, minimising supply chain risks. Additionally, by managing inventory and providing warehousing services, Expromet Asia can significantly reduce lead times, ensuring customers receive components exactly when needed, thus minimising production disruptions.
Jason Tyas, president of Expromet Asia, who has extensive experience in the aerospace and defence sectors, is leading the development of Expromet’s Southeast Asia business. “This expansion is a fantastic opportunity for our customers to benefit from strategic sourcing and reduced lead times,” said Tyas. “Our presence in the Philippines will not only improve supply options but also allow us to forge stronger relationships with local customers and manufacturers.”
The new facility will also feature state-of-the-art CNC machining technology, enabling the production of precision components on-site. This capability complements Expromet’s existing facilities in the UK, providing customers with cost-effective manufacturing options and faster delivery times.
Furthermore, Expromet Asia will serve as a hub for product development, offering local technical and engineering expertise to accelerate innovation and optimise manufacturing processes. By integrating supplier-managed inventory and flexible scheduling, Expromet Asia will provide a turnkey solution that adds significant value to customers’ supply chain management.
Expromet Technologies Group is committed to driving innovation and excellence in supply chain management, ensuring customers receive the best solutions for their performance-critical applications. For more information, please contact Alex Brake at alexbrake@expromet.com.
