The company has invested in Weinig latest technology with a Raimann UniRip, Raimann FlexiRip, Dimter OptiCut 850, Rondamat 960 profile grinder and a top of the range PowerMat 500 planer moulder.

Weinig says the new UniRip multi-ripping machine is the ideal replacement for standard conventional machines and the ageing PU straight line edger. It is profitable even if it is not used every day because of its many production advantages and benefits.

Stairplan, which has been operating for 30 years, moved to new premises in Telford last year and completed the investment with the PowerMat.

Managing director Graham Thomas said: "We pride ourselves in manufacturing the finest quality staircases in the UK and use German engineered machines from Weinig to guarantee this."
