Midland Deburr and Finish defies impact of Brexit 2.0 As Manufacturers Continue To Reshore

Midland Deburr and Finish Ltd, a key player in deburring, vapour degreasing, and solvent degreasing services, is celebrating significant growth as a surge in reshoring activities brings manufacturing operations back to the UK. Trade and industry experts warn the rising volume of future EU regulations is leading to “Brexit 2.0” as the 27-nation bloc introduces rules that — even when they are mirrored by the UK — create fresh barriers to trade. 

This has meant Midland Deburr & Finish Ltd, based in Lye, West Midlands, has experienced an uptake in demand for its deburring services as more customers choose to reshore their manufacturing operations. Reshoring, driven by factors such as supply chain disruptions and a renewed focus on quality control, has resulted in increased work for Midland Deburr and Finish, reaffirming the importance of local expertise in precision finishing.

Deburring, a critical process in manufacturing, involves the removal of sharp edges, burrs, and imperfections from machined or manufactured components. As reshoring gains momentum, companies are recognising the value of Midland Deburr and Finish's expertise in enhancing the quality and performance of their components through meticulous deburring services.
The company's specialisation in vapour degreasing and solvent degreasing has also contributed to its growth. With a commitment to environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance, Midland Deburr and Finish provides efficient and thorough degreasing services, ensuring that reshored manufacturing processes meet the highest industry standards.

Chris Arrowsmith, Managing Director of Midland Deburr and Finish, commented on the growth, saying, "The reshoring trend is reshaping the manufacturing landscape, and we are proud to play a pivotal role in this transformation. Our expertise in deburring and finishing services has become increasingly sought after as companies prioritise precision and quality in their reshored operations."

Thompson further highlighted the strategic location of the West Midlands, stating, "Lye's position as an industrial hub in the West Midlands has made it a focal point for reshored manufacturing activities. Our proximity to excellent transport links and vibrant innovative manufacturers means these operations allows us to provide timely and efficient deburring and finishing services, contributing to the overall success of reshored projects."

The company's growth aligns with the broader industry shift towards reshoring, with a focus on building resilient and reliable supply chains. As Midland Deburr and Finish continues to expand its capabilities to meet the growing demand, it stands as a testament to the resurgence of UK manufacturing expertise.
