Supplying critical components for NHS Ventilators

The UK Government launched the Ventilator Challenge in March 2020 with a call to arms to manufacturers and medical device companies to step up production of existing designs and design new ventilators from scratch. Cableplus Europe was a key supplier of components and assemblies to the manufacturing consortium that included Airbus, DHL, Ford, McLaren among many other companies. Within a few days we were producing and delivering critical components direct to the Ventilator Challenge consortium.

Cableplus Management said:

"Thanks to the herculean efforts of our staff I am incredibly proud of our efforts during the Ventilator Challenge. We have all worked exceptionally hard with our supply chain to deliver nearly half a million parts, on time and with zero rejects to the manufacturing consortium. The team have all achieved some truly remarkable things together and helped support the NHS when called upon. Thanks again to our incredible employees!"

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:

"The Ventilator Challenge has proven just how much Britain can achieve when confronted with a difficult problem – bringing together the best minds in manufacturing, innovation and design. Thanks to these efforts, everyone who needed a ventilator has had access to one, and the NHS has the vital machines it needs to continue providing life-saving support against this deadly virus."
