West Midlands’ leading metal cutting machinery business Addison Saws has joined the Made in the Midlands community to connect with likeminded manufacturing businesses and take advantage of their Made microsite.

The companies work together to combine their knowledge and offer a one stop shop for all things sawing machinery.

Having known about the Made in Group for quite some time, the Addison Saws Group decided to join because of the latest developments on the Made platform. Made in Group is a community of manufacturers, including Made in Yorkshire and Made in the Midlands, supporting and championing British industry by sharing best practices across the group.

Josie Haddy, Marketing Manager at Addison Saws and Dynashape, said:

“We think the virtual events from Made in Group are innovative and allow networking to be accessible for more manufacturing professionals. We also believe there is value in being part of a community, especially one that supports Midland’s manufacturing.”

The deciding factor for the company came from the opportunity to connect with like-minded manufacturers and the chance to utilise the online exposure having a company microsite offers. A microsite is a mini website connected to the Made in the Midlands domain – number one on google for Midland’s manufacturing.

Addison Saws and Dynashape are looking forward to meeting an array of businesses from various sectors within the manufacturing industry. They are also looking forward to learning and sharing best practice with their fellow Made members.
