Technologically advanced disposable lens manufacturing facility

Partnership approach

The appointment of PM Group in 1994 to design and manage the delivery of this technologically advanced manufacturing plant marked the beginning of a successful client relationship that has grown from strength to strength. The understanding and knowledge accumulated in over two decades of working together on expansion and continuous improvement projects brings speed, certainty and agility to project delivery at the facility.
