GM CNC doubles up on floor space with new warehouse extension 

As the sole UK and Republic of Ireland agent for the Victor range of CNC machine tools, the GM Group is currently extending its warehousing facilities in Oldham, Greater Manchester to support ongoing business growth. The new facility will expand the warehousing space from its existing 16,000ft² to over 30,000ft².

The Greater Manchester facility will be completed in the Spring and will provide a brand new showroom space for the Victor range of machine tools as well as a selection of other used modern CNC and conventional equipment. The factory will also incorporate a training area, new open plan office facilities, a new reception area and meeting rooms.

This expansion will add to the facilities the company already owns and occupies in Bolton, giving GM significantly more space to hold additional stock of new and used machine tools. Commenting upon the development, GM director Nicola Howard says: “We are rapidly growing our footprint in the new and used machine tool sector and the additional space will underpin our exciting growth plans.

“From a customer service perspective, this will enable us to further reduce lead-times with the ability to hold more new and used stock machines. Additionally, customers will be able to visit the new showroom to witness demonstrations of the latest machine tool technology on the market. The new extension will be serviced by a brand new 21.5m span, 20 tonne Street overhead crane with a distance of over 9.8m under the hook which enables the efficient handling of all types of machine tools.

“We will also be increasing our spares and service area to ensure complete availability of all Victor spare parts and ancillary equipment – bolstering our commitment to providing exemplary levels of customer service. A new training area and meeting rooms will be the icing on the cake. We’ll also be expanding our team and streamlining operational structures.”

She continued: “The investment we believe will deliver the most impressive machine tool facility in the region, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for both staff and customers. On completion of the project we intend to host an open house event where we will showcase the very latest products in the Victor machine tool range.”
