Dyma'r contract unigol mwyaf y mae'r cwmni o Drefyclo wedi'i ennill hyd yma, ac mae'n un o'r contractau mwyaf sylweddol a ddyfarnwyd gan yr RNLI ar gyfer offer lansio ac adfer cychod.   
  
Bydd Clayton Engineering Limited, sy'n gwmni dylunio a datblygu arbenigol, yn gweithgynhyrchu hanner fflyd yr RNLI o gerbydau Shannon sy'n cael eu harchebu ar hyn o bryd. Bydd y cwmni hefyd yn gyfrifol am ddarparu cymorth cynhwysfawr i'r fflyd gyfan drwy gontract cymorth logisteg integredig.   
  
Mae system lansio ac adfer Shannon yn gerbyd hydrostatig pedwar trac sy'n 22 o fetrau o hyd ac yn pwyso 37 o dunelli. Mae'n gerbyd hynod symudol a gall ddringo graddiant dros 25% ar draeth cerrig mân gan gario bad achub sy'n pwyso 15 o dunelli.   
  
Er mwyn i Clayton Engineering Limited allu bodloni'r contract newydd yn effeithlon, mae angen i'r cwmni ehangu ei gyfleuster cynhyrchu i gynyddu capasiti. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu grant datblygu eiddo gwerth £99,593 tuag at y gost o adeiladu estyniad gwerth £500,000 i'r adran saernïo a weldio. Ar hyn o bryd, mae'r cwmni'n cyflogi 42 o bobl a bydd y buddsoddiad yn diogelu wyth swydd yn ogystal â chreu cyfleoedd i hyfforddi o leiaf tri aelod o staff medrus newydd i weithio yn y gweithdy.   
  
Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates:


> "Dyma gontract pwysig iawn i Clayton Engineering Limited ac mae'n brawf o arbenigedd gweithgynhyrchu, gallu a gweithlu hynod fedrus y cwmni. 
> 
> "Rwy'n falch iawn bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu cefnogi'r cwmni i dyfu ac ehangu drwy grant datblygu eiddo. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau bod y busnes yn parhau'n gystadleuol iawn ac yn dal i ddarparu gwasanaeth o'r radd flaenaf o'r canolbarth. 
> 
> "Mae'n newyddion da clywed bod y cwmni'n meithrin y talent sydd gennym yng Nghymru, yn datblygu gweithlu'r cwmni ac yn creu cyfleoedd drwy ei gynllun prentisiaethau."

  
Dywedodd Rheolwr Gyfarwyddwr Clayton Engineering, David White: 


> "Rydyn ni'n cynnal rhaglen fuddsoddi sylweddol i ddatblygu ein seilwaith a hyfforddi staff newydd er mwyn gwella gallu ac adnoddau'r cwmni.
> 
> "Elfen allweddol o'r strategaeth hon yw'r cyfleuster weldio newydd a fydd yn galluogi i strwythurau trymach a llawer mwy gael eu gweithgynhyrchu ar y safle. Bydd hefyd yn caniatáu i'r storfeydd a'r adran lle daw nwyddau i mewn i'r safle ehangu i'r rhan lle bu'r weldwyr yn gweithio pan fydd y gweithdy newydd yn barod tuag at ddiwedd mis Mawrth 2017\. "Ar y cyfan, rydyn ni'n buddsoddi tua £750,000 yn ein cyfleusterau a'n cyfarpar. Mae'r grant datblygu eiddo yn rhan hanfodol o'r buddsoddiad hwn gan ei fod yn sail i'r benthyca ychwanegol a'r gallu i ryddhau'r buddsoddiad cyfalaf sydd ei angen i ariannu datblygiad mor fawr ar gyfer cyfleusterau gweithgynhyrchu Clayton Engineering."

  
Mae'r cerbyd lansio ac adfer Shannon cyntaf gan Clayton Engineering bellach ar waith yng Ngorsaf Bad Achub Ilfracombe. Mae'n un o'r darnau mwyaf cymhleth o gyfarpar y mae'r cwmni'n ei gynhyrchu ac mae wedi defnyddio'i holl alluoedd peirianneg craidd, y gwaith o gynhyrchu saernïaeth gymhleth a mawr ac adeiladu a phrofi cerbyd sy'n cynnwys system hydroleg soffistigedig a reolir yn electronig. Mae disgwyl i'r contract gweithgynhyrchu presennol ar gyfer cerbydau Shannon ddod i ben tuag at ddiwedd 2020, gyda'r contract cymorth yn parhau tan 2022\.

It is the largest single contract won to\-date by the Knighton based firm and one of the most substantial contracts awarded by the RNLI for boat launch and recovery equipment.  
  
Clayton Engineering Limited, a specialist design and development company, will be manufacturing half of the RNLI’s fleet of Shannon vehicles being ordered at this stage.  
  
The Company will also be responsible for providing a comprehensive in\-service support for the whole fleet through an integrated logistic support contract.  
  
The Shannon Launch and Recovery System is a four track hydrostatic drive vehicle which is 22 metres long and weighs 37 tonnes. It is highly mobile and can successfully climb shingle beach gradients in excess of 25% with a 15 tonne lifeboat housed on its carriage.   
  
In order to deliver the new contract efficiently, Clayton Engineering Limited need to expand its production facility to increase capacity. The Welsh Government is providing a £99,593 Property Development Grant towards the cost of a new £500,000 extension to their fabrication and welding department. The Company currently employs 42 people and the investment will safeguard eight jobs as well as creating opportunities to train a minimum of three new skilled workshop personnel.  
  
Economy Cabinet Secretary Ken Skates said:


> “This is a really significant contract for Clayton Engineering Limited and testament to its advanced manufacturing expertise, capability and highly skilled workforce. 
> 
> “I am delighted the Welsh Government is able to support the company’s growth and expansion with a Property Development Grant that will ensure the business remains highly competitive and will continue to provide a world class service from mid Wales.
> 
> “Its good news to hear that the Company is nurturing home grown talent, developing their workforce and creating opportunities through its apprenticeship scheme.”

  
Clayton Engineering’s Managing Director David White said: 


> “We are carrying out a significant investment programme to develop our infrastructure and train new personnel in order to enhance the Company’s capability and resources. 
> 
> “A key element of this strategy is the new welding facility which will enable heavier and much larger structures to be manufactured on\-site. It will also allow a significant expansion of the stores and Goods Inward department into the space vacated by the welders once the new workshop has been completed towards the end of March 2017\.
> 
> “In total we are investing approximately £750,000 in our facilities and equipment. The Property Development Grant is an essential part of this investment as it has underpinned the additional borrowing and release of capital investment required to fund such a large development project in Clayton Engineering’s manufacturing facilities.”

  
The first of the Shannon Launch and Recovery Vehicles made by Clayton Engineering is now on service at Ilfracombe Lifeboat Station. It is one of the most complex pieces of equipment produced by the Company and has used all of its core competencies in project engineering, the accurate production of large complex fabrications and the assembly and test of a vehicle containing a sophisticated hydraulic system with electronic control. The current manufacturing contract for Shannon vehicles is due to be completed towards the end of 2020 with the support contract continuing until 2022\.
