Dundee-based manufacturer Rautomead fuelled further technological advances with the money reclaimed by Jumpstart through R&D tax credits.
R&D tax credits: a welcome by-product of advances in the manufacture of metal forming machinery.
Operating factors including thermal shock and the build-up of silicate during continuous casting can adversely impact the efficiency of the process. By demonstrating how Rautomead had overcome these challenges to appreciably enhance performance through improved furnace thermal efficiency and casting rate, Jumpstart forged a long-lasting relationship with the company, while securing them a six figure sum.
Jumpstart bridges the gap between our very technically-minded operation and what HMRC are looking for, making something that is quite valuable to our company very easy indeed.
