UK: KM Tools has designed and manufactured multiple SmartLine Jigs which Alstom’s Derby plant is using to assemble Innovia 300 monorail trains for export to Cairo.
The Staffordshire-based company is also providing 24/7 on-site maintenance support for the jigs.

It is exciting to be supporting a real domestic manufacturing success story.’
