A company designing and building EMC systems for rally cars had built their own cable looms in-house with a small team, but the workload eventually outgrew their capacity. They approached WH Kemp to take over the builds.
Technical drawings were limited, so the customer supplied physical cable loom samples instead. WH Kemp’s first task was to check the component requirements against these samples and source suitable parts, then replicate the samples and update the drawings as needed.
Within a short time, the customer had handed WH Kemp all of their cable loom builds, freeing their team to focus on design and sales. The quality of these looms was noticed by other businesses within the motorsport sector, and WH Kemp now builds looms for several other motorsport customers. Motorsport now represents one of the fastest growing parts of WH Kemp’s business.
Challenge
Limited in-house capacity to keep up with growing cable loom demand, with only physical samples available in place of full technical drawings.
Solution
WH Kemp checked component requirements against the supplied samples, sourced suitable parts, and replicated the designs, updating drawings as required.
Outcome
The customer’s team was freed to focus on design and sales, and the quality of the work led to further motorsport customers, making motorsport one of WH Kemp’s fastest growing sectors.
