Production-Ready Air for a New Facility

Nuneaton Signs is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of signs and vehicle graphics, with a proud history as a social enterprise. They combine high-quality manufacturing with inclusive employment opportunities and meaningful community impact.

Growing demand led to their expansion into a second site on the Hinckley-Nuneaton border. The new facility needed a compressed air system that could support production from day one, run efficiently to control energy costs, and scale up as the operation grows.

Rather than replicating what they had at their existing site, the brief was to design a system tailored to the new factory layout and future production plans. It had to be right from the start.

Airstation and Ring Main, Sized for Growth

Airmech designed and installed a complete compressed air system built around an energy-efficient Airstation, correctly sized for the site's current output and anticipated growth.

What we delivered

  • Energy-efficient Airstation sized for current capacity and future expansion
  • Full ring of pipework throughout the facility for consistent pressure at every workstation
  • Ring main layout for flexibility when adding or relocating machinery
  • Full commissioning to verify pressure, flow, and reliability before handover
  • Aftercare support during the initial weeks of operation
  • Ongoing preventative maintenance plan to protect the investment long-term

A ring main offers more stable pressure across the system, greater flexibility when the layout changes, and improved resilience if part of the line needs maintenance. For a growing operation, it is the right foundation.

Ready from Day One, Built for What Comes Next

The system was operational when the new facility opened. Nuneaton Signs had reliable compressed air across the factory floor from the first day of production, with no downtime and no teething issues.

Day 1 Production-ready compressed air from the moment the facility opened. No delays, no workarounds.
Ring Full ring main pipework gives consistent pressure and easy expansion as new equipment is added.
PPM Ongoing preventative maintenance keeps the system running efficiently and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

With the ongoing maintenance plan in place, Nuneaton Signs can focus on what they do best, knowing their compressed air system is looked after by the same team that designed and installed it.
