Mattress machinery specialist bolsters team

Machinery brand MattressTek has taken on another mechanical maintenance engineer with experience of sewing machine installations and servicing, off the back of range and customer expansion.

Sam Nicholas joins the brand with knowledge and expertise gained from his time at Silentnight Group, and will be working with Scott Jarvis, who joined last year and also has experience in the mattress and foam-processing worlds, and others, building, programming and maintaining industrial sewing machines.

Technical director at MattressTek, Shaun Peel, says: “The pair are available for one-off servicing and repairs, as well as the fulfilment of service contracts for our stitching range for the mattress industry, as well as our wider range of automation conveyors and production one systems, of which there is a growing range.”

Fellow director Michael Birtwistle adds: “With the utilisation of our existing team of expert engineers busy building the growing range that we have, from fabrication to electronics, we needed to assemble a dedicated team who could go out on the road to service the various machines are currently have at customer sites across the UK. We’re lucky to be able to call on our guys to build, test, install and repair our machines and conveyors, which often form part of larger-scale production lines, across the world, particularly in the US.”

The business will be present at both the Bed Show and the PPMA Show next week.
