Virtual
Manufacturer
What is Virtual Manufacturing?
We design, develop and produce our own product ranges through shared or part
owned manufacturing facilities, sourcing raw materials as far down the supply chain
as possible. We listen to our clients and can produce exactly what they need.
Manufacturing in this way shortens the supply chain and gives us exclusive ranges
at unbeatable prices. We don’t incur factory overheads and production always runs
at maximum capacity for ultimate efficiency.
Look out for our Wagstaff Construct logo for products produced in this way.
