What People Say About our Service and Products

Tasks that would have normally taken us a day or more to complete using our engineering CAD system now takes literally minutes, achieving design intent without the need of multiple iterations and the associated frustration. The software is very intuitive and has been quickly learned by production staff. This has been such a time saver that myself and the other staff using it actually find it fun.

James Lorbiecki, Senior Design Engineer, Martin Baker Aircraft

The design software is the best I have ever used and, if I ever need help, I receive it promptly from you in Wakefield – thank goodness Assyst Bullmer don’t use foreign call centres!

Anne Springthorpe, Designer

The dependable accuracy of the cut has allowed us to improve throughput in machining and upholstery by 20%. The sewing lines and notches are always clear and correct, making assembly so much easier. In my experience, the Premiumcut has the highest levels of reliability of upholstery cutting machines and thus low running costs.

Peter Martin, Shackletons

During my career as a patternmaker I have worked with various pattern cutting systems. I prefer the Assyst Bullmer software by far.

Shara Penermor, Pattern Designer

They are never stumped for an answer and have gone to endless lengths to provide a service that is the best in any area of engineering.

Harry McLeese, The Corporate Wardrobe

I have no doubt we chose the right supplier.

Christine Stuart, Milano Pro-Sport

The service and support we experienced throughout the installation and build up to full production was excellent and has resulted in a world class facility.

Bernard Hurley, Relyon

We bought our first Premiumcut to replace press cutting and were so impressed we added a second Premiumcut a year later.

Alan Ross, Stylex Auto Products

We need just one tenth of the man hours that the process used to take before.

Mark Gardiner, Ribcraft

We changed our system to Assyst Bullmer as they had a strong reputation for the best service. That has been exceeded in practice.

Bill Kerrigan, MTP

I would have no hesitation in recommending Assyst Bullmer.

Peter Wheeler, Roman Originals

I am pleased to say that we have found Assyst Bullmer’s service excellent.

Neil Fox, Milano Pro-Sport

We are proud to be associated with Assyst Bullmer as a partner providing cutting expertise from the Premiumcut.

CASE STUDY / JDR PRODUCTS

Bringing fabric cutting in-house

JDR Products needed more capacity and flexibility as its manufacturing business grew. Its existing process combined manual cutting with external suppliers.

After a site visit and successful showroom trial, the company invested in a Bullmer PremiumCut ELC with an automatic feeder.

FAQs

What materials can your digital cutting machines handle?
What is the difference between single ply and multi ply cutters?
The main difference between single ply and multi ply cutters lies in how many layers of material the machine can cut at once. Single ply digital cutting machines precisely cut one layer at a time and are ideal for small-batch production lines or intricate designs. However, multi ply machines can cut multiple layers of material simultaneously. This allows for a significantly faster output for larger orders.
Do you provide training and technical support?

We’re proud of our longstanding relationships with leading cutting machine manufacturers, including Bullmer, Optitex, LAP Laser, Mirisys and more. Backed by the knowledge of these manufacturers, we provide dedicated technical support to our customers, led by our team of engineers, CAD support and customer service staff.

We offer demonstrations and training meetings to show you how your business can benefit from our cutting solutions, either in person or online. Whatever your project, our team is on hand to solve any issues regarding machinery, software or spares.
