SCOTTISH PRECISION GEAR MANUFACTURER OPENS NORTHERN ROTATING EQUIPMENT REPAIR CENTRE
Having outgrown its previous space, the service centre is keen to expand its offering to customers across Scotland and Northern England. In addition to gearbox overhaul, it plans to offer full electromechanical services, including pump repairs by the end of 2025, followed by electric motor rewinds and repairs in 2026. The new facility will enable Lamond and Murray DEXIS to expand its established gearbox overhaul service offering, supplementing the gearbox services provided by HAYLEY 247 DEXIS facilities in Dudley and King’s Lynn.
The significant additional workshop space will enable the initial recruitment of a further three electromechanical fitters in addition to the dedicated service centre manager recruited at the end of 2024. The company currently has a workforce of 35, including three engineering apprentices.
Gearbox overhaul services currently account for about 20% of the company’s business at Inverkeithing, but Managing Director, Stephen Clarke is expecting this percentage to grow this year with the support of the HAYLEY DEXIS branch network. Lamond and Murray DEXIS exports to the USA, Canada and the Middle East and is reporting growing orders from original equipment manufacturers in the UK. The company’s unique selling point is its ability to offer a one-stop-shop service. In addition to servicing, repairing and overhauling gearboxes, the company designs, reverse engineers and manufactures loose gears.
Supplying machine-cut gears up to 2.5m in diameter and ground gears up to 1.48m in diameter, the company has continually invested in plant and state-of-the-art CNC gear-cutting and grinding machinery. Spur, helical, double helical and bevel gears, scroll shafts, gear couplings and splines are all part of the company’s product offering.
