A boost for the metalforming supply chain

The Confederation of British Metalforming (CBM) has formally announced JLR as its latest member.

This is a high-profile boost for the association, who currently represent the interests of more than 200 companies involved in the manufacture of fasteners, forgings and pressings, cold-rolled and sheet-metal products.

“Given the car manufacturer’s prominence as a leading OEM, not only across the UK but also in supplying its cutting-edge vehicles globally, this is great news for the wider supply chain,” explained CBM President Steve Morley.

Geraldine Bolton, Confederation of British Metalforming Chief Executive, commented: “Over the past few years, the challenges manufacturing has faced have highlighted the importance of forming stronger supply chains and one of our aims is to support JLR to further develop long-lasting relationships with their suppliers.’’
