In future, Ispecc will understand the process, production and quality targets of a customer and specify the optimal Eastman solution.

Ispecc has in-depth knowledge of capital plant including Eastman cutting systems, robotic production cells, industrial ovens, presses, hot drape formers, RTM equipment and advanced mould/tools.

Eastman’s cutting machines perform automated cutting of materials increasing productivity for many processes.

The system can also be fitted with product labelling systems. Eastman’s suite of intelligent controls and software solutions include – Eastman Cutpro, a dynamic operating system; Patternpro for design and efficient nesting of patterns to minimise waste, Easiselect for fast selection processing and Digitiser to trace and record all parts.

“We are really pleased to represent Eastman. They have an amazing heritage for engineering really robust machinery with advanced software solutions and they have an ethos of going the extra mile for customers which fits well with our approach,” said Nigel Clifford, managing director of Ispecc.

“We are excited about the partnership with Ispecc for a number of reasons including their ability to localise project management together with the technical and commercial skills needed to address a wide range of customer applications. We look forward to collaboratively growing our businesses,” said Trevor Stevenson, Eastman’s vice president. (PC)
