Description

Our client is a specialist in the manufacture of aluminium impact extrusions and subsequent machining, finishing and printing operations.

The Company makes a wide range of products for a number of markets including military and packaging industries and export over half of what they make.

Owing to continued expansion they are looking to recruit a number of Press Setters to set and oversee the running of horizontal Herlan power presses, Schuler trimmers and various other ancillary equipment.

Highly numerate
