Customer Case Study

PRODUCTION TOOLING

Assembly tooling for efficiency & productivity at
CNH

Challenge.

Improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the manufacturing process.

With continuous production demands and high-volume assembly lines, CNH requires tooling that performs reliably under pressure, alongside a support partner capable of reacting quickly when issues arise.

Key challenges included maintaining production uptime, minimising disruption caused by tooling failures, and ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of assembly applications using Cleco equipment. Speed of response and technical support were critical to avoiding costly downtime.

Solution.

Trusted solutions, delivered by engineering experts

We have worked in partnership with CNH for over 10 years, providing production tooling solutions and ongoing technical support.

Rather than simply supplying equipment, we operate as an embedded support partner to their production teams. This includes:

  • Supplying and integrating Cleco production tooling across key assembly operations 
  • Providing rapid response support when tooling issues occur on site 
  • Working closely with engineering and maintenance teams to resolve problems quickly 
  • Advising on tooling selection and application improvements to support long-term performance 
  • Annual service & calibration of all tools during shut down period 

Our approach combines reactive support with proactive input to improve tooling reliability, assembly accuracy and consistency across the manufacturing facility. 

“Our experience with Cleco tools has been outstanding, the reliability and performance of Cleco’s systems are unmatched. Abbey’s support has provided hassle-free, maintenance-free operations for years, We trust them completely to support any of our production challenges.”

Results.

Reduced downtime, increased throughput, maximum productivity

The partnership has helped CNH maintain production output with reduced downtime from tooling-related issues. Faster response times have ensured that production disruptions are minimised, while ongoing support has contributed to improved tooling performance and consistency across their assembly lines
