They also push the boundaries on many accepted process capabilities, enabling profitable technological advancements in production environments.”
He added: “If you have an unusual or novel production or manufacturing requirement our team will work with you to develop a bespoke solution. For example we have recently worked with Palintest, one of the world’s largest producer of water testing kits to fully automate their production line leading to higher yields and throughput. The line handles every process including handling, cropping, cleaning, alignment, dosing, singulation and packing.”
Rainbow has welcomed the recent introduction of a new £8m fund at the CBI which is aimed at boosting the productivity and performance of small businesses in England. The Business Basics Fund will help support small businesses in adopting tried and tested technologies and management techniques. Once the projects are launched, the Government will then work with leading experts to evaluate the effectiveness of each project in boosting productivity, helping to inform future policies. Rainbow is perfectly structured to help companies benefit from this CBI initiative.
