/PRNewswire/ --

Midland Tool and Design has won a major order to supply razor blade tooling to

a manufacturer on the Indian Subcontinent.

The

West Midlands

firm will design and manufacture the tools to help the

Gazipur

-based Bangladesh Blade Factory produce millions of stainless steel

double-edged razor blades. The project has been funded by the Indian

Government.

MTD is currently the only UK manufacturer of razor blade tooling, and have

supplied similar tooling to manufacturers in

India

,

Turkey

,

Pakistan

and

Egypt

in

the past few years.

Bosses believe this success shows UK engineering has maintained its good

reputation around the world, despite facing tough competition from overseas.

Managing Director Darren Booton said: "One of the major advantages UK

manufacturers have over our global competitors is the level of skill and

expertise in our workforce.

"This is the main reason companies in

Spain

,

China

,

Finland

and the US are

coming to us, rather than to countries where labour is cheaper."

Midland Tool and Design was established in 1969 and specialises in supplying

precision engineering components to a wide range of companies in aerospace,

medical and automotive engineering.

They currently employ 35 people at their headquarters in Tipton,

West

Midlands

.
