Town and Country fires manufacture a range of multifuel stoves, and other wood burning stoves which are economical and eco-friendly as well as being highly efficient. The Thurlow family-run business based out of Pickering in North Yorkshire have been manufacturing stoves since 1977. MCM were approached with the view to creating a system which would deliver product to the spray booth from the end of the production line. The product needed to rotate in front of the operator while paint was applied and remain on the system until dried.
The Surface World Show is the UK’s bi-annual showcase for the paint finishing industry. MCM Conveyor Systems showcased it's full range of overhead conveyor systems including our Sidetrack and Power and Free ranges.

Leading UK manufacturer Amber Automation successfully completed the installation of a conveying system at Greencroft Bottling Co. Ltd to transfer product from a newly installed tray erector/bottle packing machine into various storage areas. Specialists in bottling wines & spirits from around the world, the Greencroft Bottling Co had previous experience of Amber lineshaft conveyors, which continued to successfully and reliably operate within the Durham based plant. Therefore, Managing Director Mark Satchwell didn’t hesitate to invite Amber Automation to tender for the project.

The PPMA Show is the UK’s annual showcase for processing and packaging machinery. Amber showcased its powered accumulation conveyor and one of its belt bends used for conveying totes and similar boxed items. The exhibition catered to all the major UK industry sectors; from food & drink and household products through to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and chemicals, incorporating the widest range of machinery.
When Weir Valves & Controls UK Ltd looked at improving the efficiency and handling capacity of their valve painting system, through shot blasting, a paint booth and curing oven they invited MCM Conveyors of Oldham to tender for the project. Mr Philip Dollin of Weir Valves & Controls UK Ltd commented,” After reviewing a number of tender proposals, overhead conveyor specialist MCM Conveyors was appointed to provide a total handling solution. Apart from being competitive, MCM Conveyors clearly demonstrated that they understood our requirements and could also offer comprehensive after sales service, which we believe is essential in committing to capital investment projects.”
Amber Automation was commissioned to design, manufacture and install a warehouse conveying system for leading computer software and hardware distribution company, Bell Micro products Europe Ltd. Amber’s proposed design, cost effectively incorporated the use of an existing lineshaft carousel conveyor with new powered roller conveyors and full electrical controls to convey packed cardboard boxes from the current sixteen packing stations, to a new despatch unload area.
When Electrolux looked at improving the handling and transportation of cooker component parts from their press area, through a pre-treatment facility and returning them to numerous enamelling application un-load stations, they invited MCM Conveyors of Oldham to tender for the project as they had previously undertaken projects at the Spennymoor plant back in the 1990’s.

Mitras manufactures specialised resin moulded components for the automotive industry. Major clients include Ford, Vauxhall, Renault and ERF. Components are produced in relatively large volumes by a compression moulding technique, prior to being assembled as necessary and finally painted to the customer’s specification.
UniChem a leading distributor and wholesaler of pharmaceutical, medical and health and beauty products, recently awarded Amber Industries the contract to supply and install a powered roller conveyor system in its Swansea based delivery centre to improve order picking efficiency, reduce manual handling and improve the flow of products in tote boxes through to dispatch. With a growing demand for UniChem’s high level of service, with twice daily delivery to pharmacies and dispensing doctors in the area, it was important that the system was designed to meet future handling capacities required.
A long established company and market leader in the design and manufacture of home improvements and pet products, Reilor Logistics recently awarded Amber Automation the contract to supply and install a powered roller, carton handling system to transport goods from assembly areas to the warehouse. Reilor’s Logistic Manager Gary Reid reported, “Despite the competition, we selected Amber Automation above other potential suppliers as they demonstrated a clear understanding of Reilor’s requirements. With a tight window to supply and install the conveyors, Amber’s business-like approach and prompt response gave us confidence, as well as being supported by a competitive project price.”
