Low-Cost Manufacturing
As part of The MEL Group’s commitment to an affordable high-quality offering, we have our own low-cost manufacturing facility in Smederevo, Serbia.
We specialise in labour-intensive work and use local craftsmen who we’ve trained in the UK. This ensures that we maintain our industry-leading standards of workmanship, while minimising the costs involved.
We are also able to deliver on time, as well as cost-effectively: road shipments from Serbia take just 72 hours to arrive on the UK mainland. This contrasts with the high cost of air-freight, and the much longer lead-times – up to eight weeks – required when sourcing and shipping by sea from the Far East.
