Ceiling Construction in Stockholm

The Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre is a large facility congress complex with the capacity to host all types of assemblies and events.

Diamond Precision Engineering, working alongside Unusual Rigging, have been involved in the manufacture of a 50 tonne suspended ceiling. The ceiling measures some 1500 square metres, and consists of steel wire strung across steel frames, to provide a secure walk-space for light technicians 60 feet about the arena floor.

DTG Customer Base Spreads to Ukraine

DTG has once again increased the customer base of the Diamond Group with the acquisition of a new contract to provide Finn Coating and Polishing Machines to the Ukraine.

Finn Coaters are already world-renowned, with hundreds in operation in the UK, France, Canada, the USA, Chile, Brazil, Lebanon, Australia and Japan. They are more efficient than traditional panning machines, and provide confectionery manufacturers with a faster, more consistent result every time.

This new contract follows on from a recently finalised French contract to see DTG going from strength to strength into 2010.

Autec announce new contract in New Zealand

Autec, the newest member of the Diamond Group, is now in the process of shipping its Vacuum Cooling machines to New Zealand.

The initial order is for two machines, which are to be used to chill freshly picked mushrooms, with the hope of shipping more machines in the near future.

Vacuum Cooling, unlike traditional cooling, is achieved by evaporating the slightest amount of moisture from within the product (less than 3%, though this can be further reduced by pre-misting), and has the effect of removing field heat and sealing in the freshness.

With Vacuum Cooling, vegetables stay crisp and flowers stay fresh, for longer, increasing their shelf life.

Diamond Precision Engineering is proud to announce its involvement in the “La Princesse Project”, part of Liverpool’s Capital of Culture 2008 Celebrations, in conjunction with Unusual Rigging.

La Princesse is a 50-foot mechanical spider designed and operated by French performance art company La Machine. It tips the scales at 37 tonnes, has 50 axes of movement, and a top speed of 2 mph. The spider also has seven different special effects: rain, flame, smoke, wind, snow, light and sound. It took a whole year to construct, and was assembled in a secret location in the Cammell Laird Shipyard in Birkenhead.

The giant arachnid was described by many as the “highlight of the Capital of Culture Celebrations”, and was so popular that plans are underway to secure Liverpool as the spider’s permanent home.

Test House Opened with Thew Arnott

Thew Arnott and DTG have teamed up to bring customers from the both companies the benefits of an in house testing and operator-training facility in Deeside.

This will increase customer confidence in the DTG brand, and allow them to see the end result that the Finn Coating Machines can achieve. Interested customers should visit the DTG website, linked below, or call 0151 647 9050 to arrange a trial.

Diamond Precision helps Gwyneth Paltrow recreate hotel dressing room at home

The top floor of Connaught Hotel, Mayfair, is one of the most exclusive spots in London, and has seen it's fair share of stars. Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin recently spent 7 nights in the luxury suite, and were so impressed with the style of the room that they want to take a little piece of it home with them.

It was the dressing table that caught the eye of the actress, and she has commissioned a replica to be manufactured for her own dressing room at home.

Gwyneth said: "I was stunned by the dressing room. I ordered the David Collins designed white lacquered dressing table for my own home."

Diamond Precision Engineering manufactured the original centerpiece mirror for the table, and will now also make an accurate replica, to meet the Hollywood star's high expectations.
