Powering Up

‍

Over the past two years, we’ve been quietly building behind the scenes — expanding our equipment, increasing our capabilities, and opening up a brand-new workshop space to keep pace with growing demand.

Because scaling up isn’t about just doing more of the same. It’s about continuous improvement - doing more and doing it better.

‍

🏭 New Premises, New Possibilities

With the addition of our new production space just a 30 second walk from HQ, we’ve vastly increased our manufacturing footprint. That means:

• Smoother, more efficient workflows
• Increased output across every department
• Room to grow, test, and adapt at speed
• full in-house control from design to delivery, allowing for us to ensure the high-quality standards our clients expect

With everything in-house and under one roof, we’re set up to work faster, build better, and stay fully aligned — whatever the brief.

⚙️ What’s New on the Shop Floor

We've made targeted investments in machinery based on what matters most to our clients: speed, precision, versatility, and finish quality.

Here’s a closer look at the tech powering our latest builds:

Laser Cutter – Lasertech 10160

Our second laser cutter allows for parallel production, with a greater capacity to handle multiple materials simultaneously. Fast, accurate, and efficient — ideal for acrylic, MDF, and complex cut work.

CNC Router – Apollo ATC 1530

A  larger bed size and tighter tolerances mean cleaner cuts, greater detail and faster output. This CNC router is perfect for big panel work, fine detailing, and intricate joinery — all key for retail display builds that look sharp and hold up under pressure.

Heat Bender – Shannon HRP-D 300

We’ve added a second larger heat bender to our arsenal. The machine allows for crisp folds in acrylic and PETG, delivering consistent results and a sleek finish – essential tooling for high-end detailing and repeatable precision.

Table Saw – Record Power TS250RS

Smooth operation, faster setups, and pinpoint accuracy on wood and composite sheets — perfect for efficient cutting at scale with no compromise in finish.

Compressor – ABAC Spinn 4E

Provides higher reliability, more power, and improved energy efficiency for all our air-fed tools, helping us keep pace while cutting down on unnecessary energy use.

🖨️ Let’s Talk Print

Branding, graphics, signage — it's not just about structure, it’s about standout visual impact. As part of our growth, we’ve added full in-house print capability — giving us greater control over branding, colour accuracy, and production speed.

Roll-to-Roll Printer – UCJV300

Prints onto flexible materials like vinyl, paper, and banner stock — ideal for:

• Wraps
• Decals
• Labels
• And high-speed branded elements with tight turnarounds

Flatbed Printer – JFX200EX

Prints directly onto rigid substrates like Foamex, acrylic, and wood, making it perfect for:

• Display boards
• Unit branding
• Signage
• And any time we want bold, vibrant print directly on the unit itself — no wrapping, no extra steps

Bringing print in-house means we can respond faster, stay in control of quality, and deliver fully branded displays without relying on external sources.

💡 Why It Matters

Every investment we’ve made — from machinery to floor space — is about delivering better results for our clients.

We’ve now got:

• More control over quality and output
• More flexibility across materials, finishes, and formats
• More capacity to scale, test, and adapt
• More energy efficient machinery, ensuring we’re always thinking green and hitting our sustainability goals.
• And a production setup designed to meet the challenges of modern retail — head-on.

All operated by our in-house team, with the care, speed, and attention to detail that defines Melita quality.

📈 Ready for What’s Next

We’ve built more than just extra capacity — we’ve built a smarter, more agile production environment.

With everything under one roof, we can deliver full projects in-house — from first sketch to final install — without the need to juggle multiple suppliers. Fewer handovers. Less hassle. Complete control. Powered by the people who know what Melita quality looks like, and how to deliver it fast.

And we’re not stopping here. As demand grows, we’ll continue expanding our capabilities and investing in the tools that help bring bigger, bolder ideas to life.

And we’re not standing still. As briefs get bolder and timelines tighter, we’ll keep evolving — adding the tools, tech, and space to meet whatever comes next.

Because when your displays demand the best, we’ve got the tools — and the team — to make it happen.
