MANUFACTURE & DESIGN OF HIGH END CARBON FIBRE AUDIO LOUDSPEAKERS, TURNTABLES AND HIFI FURNITURE
MADE IN BRITAIN
Wilson Benesch recognised the importance of manufacturing. It provided the design team and engineers within the company ultimate control over all elements of the product design and thus a competitive edge. The blueprint for a vertically aligned, design and manufacturing company was acknowledged in the first business plan that helped secure the first DTi grant for Wilson Benesch in 1989.
In 1990 Wilson Benesch invested in its first lathe. Today the company employs a team of highly trained designers and engineers that operate more than £350,000 of state-of-the-art CNC tooling and carbon fibre Resin Transfer Mould technology (VRTM) machinery. In addition the company operates multiple Dassault Systemes desks, allowing for cutting edge 3D modelling and design.
This degree of investment in manufacturing is rare within the audio industry, where the trend tends to be third party manufacturing to produce parts for final assembly. However, at the cutting edge, technology and manufacturing advance quickly. In order to make real innovation possible, design must exist in one hand with manufacturing in the other.
