Press Release Press Release Glasgow headquartered Teknek; the global leader in the contact cleaning sector is gearing up for growth. From its’ two facilities in Renfrewshire Teknek supplies specialist equipment which helps ensure advanced manufacturing processes deliver high yields. This ranges from production of Flat Panel Displays to Automotive Glass, Medical Packaging to Fuel Cells. The company is unique in its sector in that it designs and manufacturers its’ own products locally and exports over 90% of its output. A key element is to improve competitiveness of the product offering whilst retaining production in Scotland. A major training program was launched in November 2006 supported by Scottish Enterprise Renfrewshire. It involved training over 180 people, all employees, shareholders and principle suppliers in Continuous Improvement Techniques. Phase 2 was to provide more detailed training for around 30 people including suppliers. Technical Director Sheila Hamilton commented ‘It’s a real eye opener, not just in production but in all areas of the company. The improvement teams have managed to identify significant benefits, for example we have reduced our order process system from 40 to 10 steps, and have reduced the assembly time of one of our main machines from 12 hours to 2.5 hours. As important, people now have the ability to make improvements; we are seeing gains in all areas.’ The program continues to train suppliers and of late Teknek customers have asked to take part which will result in the whole value chain driving to the same end, the first Customer from Denmark will undertake training in June. An unexpected benefit of the program has been the space saving at the main Inchinnan facility. This combined with the need to shorten lead times will see major development work at the main plant to allow for expansion and the relocation of the Howwood facility to Inchinnan. Teknek has recently developed products for the burgeoning Flat Panel Display market. CM10 launched at the recent Finetech exhibition in Tokyo with support from Scottish Enterprise Renfrewshire Teknek expects to exploit this high growth Asian market. Teknek already exports over 90% of all production with over half going to Asia. Asia will continue to be one of the key markets for Teknek and has recently relocated one of its senior managers to the Teknek Japan office to head up the Asian operations. Kilmacolm resident Asian Sales Manager Richard Meredith, is moving to Tokyo to manage the network of Teknek sales operations in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and India. Richard commented, ‘Following an amazing level of inquiries at the Finetech show in Tokyo, we have just had the same response at the CMM show also held in Tokyo, the enormity of the opportunity is just starting to sink in and I really looking forward to growing our Asian business. We launched several new products at Finetech including FastPad, and have already started to receive orders, its clear that we have only just begun exploit this market’. The growth strategy calls for significant growth in all sectors including the US. Despite an on going legal dispute (SDI, California, USA) Teknek sales continue to grow in USA, up some 10% in 2006. Founder and Chairman Jonathan Kennett stated, ‘SDI have made an occupation of harassing via the courts those in the contact cleaning market with direct legal action. They seem to have focused on Teknek given its market leader position’. ‘We have always taken the view that the original judgement was a travesty and have defended our position vigorously.’ ‘It would appear that the Scottish Courts agree. SDI tried recently to bring an action against Teknek. The recent case heard by Lady Smith in the Court of Session resulted in a decisive victory for Teknek.’ ‘It is very easy to conclude from the comprehensive judgement that the ongoing action is an attempt by a US competitor to destroy a Scottish company by capitalising on an aberrant jury decision in a patent case in California which relates only to a subsidiary’ commented Kennett. ‘We have been trying to settle matters with SDI but they seem more interested in trying to exclude Teknek from the US market.’ ‘Despite this, with a view to ensuring our US plans are unaffected we are going to settle matters by making payment to SDI's legal representatives. This will allow us continued unrestricted access to the US market and allow the management team to focus on winning additional business at the expense of overseas competitors including SDI.’ ‘We will be stepping up our activities in the USA with immediate effect, and have appointed another local Callum Campbell as US sales Manager to spearhead the attack’. ‘We are well advanced with discussions to acquire additional businesses which will give us a much larger presence in the US market. Moreover we are launching a new range of products aimed specifically at key sectors in the US and are confident we will continue to enjoy rapid growth in this market’. ‘The first part of our campaign will start at the June CMM show in Chicago where we will unveil new products as well as the new corporate ID. I will be attending personally to launch the initiative and engage customers’. ‘As part of an ambitious growth plan aimed at doubling the business over the next 3-5 years a corporate identity has been developed which better reflects Teknek’s position as the global leader. Within the next few months this will be rolled out across all areas of the businesses, the US will be one of the first’. With a clear commitment to continuous improvement, Teknek is launching the first major SVQ Business Improvement Techniques program in Scotland. With support from SE Renfrewshire the pilot will see some 75 Teknek staff undertake this key work based training program. Keizai Ltd will deliver the program in partnership with Anniesland College. The program will be the first of its kind in Scotland and will help establish the BIT’s program which is already well established in England.

  • Administration and Divisions
    COMMUNICATIONS 1 45 The palmy days of canal traffic both for passengers and goods have passed away. As railways were extended the importance of canals declined. The complete explana- tion of this is by no means easy. It has been attributed to their passing into the control of railway companies, but this explanation is not satisfactory. The smallness of the vessels in use and the consequent additional handling of goods undoubtedly militate against the greater use of canals in these days, when the whole tendency is to handle and carry goods in as large amounts as possible. With the adoption of improved methods of traction or propulsion, there seems no good reason why the importance of canal traffic should not to some extent be restored. 21. Administration and Divisions. Renfrew was originally included with Lanark as an administrative unit, the .separation having been made by King Robert III at the beginning of the fifteenth century. At first the position of sheriff was a hereditary one, and was held by one of the powerful families of the county. The first sheriff that we know of was John Semple of Eliotstoun, who held office in 1426 soon after Renfrew and Lanark were separated. The office remained in the Semple family till it was transferred to the Earl of Eglinton in 1648. Until the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey of Paisley were not under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The abbot was supreme, and had his gallows for hanging men, and his pit for drowning women M. R. 10 146 malefactors.

  • A WALK AROUND INCHINNAN - 2.5 Miles
    A WALK AROUND INCHINNAN - 2.5 miles The walk starts at the Normandy Hotel which is situated beside the White Cart. Normandy Hotel The hotel was completed in 1973 for the Reo Stakis Organisation. Legend has it that the architect’s drawing was numbered 1066 - hence the Normandy! Two stones, one the pediment and the other the base of a cross, are situated in front of the Normandy Hotel, enclosed behind iron railings. Argyll Stone & St Conval’s Chariot The pediment is known as the Argyll Stone. It is said that the Duke of Argyll rested on it in 1685 and was captured and taken to Edinburgh where he was beheaded. The base is known as St. Conval’s Chariot. St Conval is reputed to have floated from Ireland to Scotland on it. He founded his church across the River Cart at Inchinnan. The Silver Bell Horse Race of Paisley, instituted in 1620, "startit at the grey stane callit St. Convall's stane." The first winner, on 1st June 1620, was Hew Crawford of Cloberhill. Leaving the Normandy, walk to the river and the bascule bridge. Bascule Bridge The new stone bridge over the White Cart, which was opened in 1812, was too low to accommodate sailing ships as they became larger. This meant that ships sailing up the White Cart to Paisley had to lower their masts to pass through, so a canal was constructed in 1838 to divert ships through a swing bridge. In 1923 this was replaced with the present bascule bridge , built by Sir William Arrol & Company.

  • Agricultural Workers Renfrewshire
    RLHF Journal Vol.1 (1989) 1. Down To Earth Agricultural Workers in Renfrewshire Christopher C. Lee There are three important considerations in mind when discussing the question of farm workers in Renfrewshire and all three are interrelated. Agrarian studies in the west of Scotland form a relatively neglected area of historiography. The east coast has always attracted more attention and its experiences are often used to make generalisations about Scottish agriculture. It is the case, however, that farming in the west is very different. The differences concern the size of farms, patterns of employment and farm architecture. The second consideration which stems largely from the first is that the number of farm workers in the west and in counties like Renfrewshire was much smaller than in other parts of the country. This was dictated by the fact that, in general, west coast farms were smaller than those in the east and were pastoral rather than arable. Pastoral farming is less labour intensive. An important factor was also present in the competition for labour provided by the development of industry in large urban areas like Glasgow and Paisley and indeed in the villages like Lochwinnoch, Kilbarchan and Johnstone. The third and final consideration is that it has to be remembered when we are studying agricultural workers that we are always working at one remove from our subjects. This was after all a transient and often migratory workforce; they left few records. It has to be said, however, that this was a characteristic of the farming community in general. A gentleman farmer may have had the time to keep letters, diaries and accounts but few working farmers did.
