0:00:36 > 0:00:39- ..we look behind the scenes - at Welsh companies.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- From printing to manufacturing, - from tourism to food and drink.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- Each business is different - but one thing is certain...
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- ..the Welsh language - is important to them all.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- This week, we focus on DMM.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- DMM manufactures climbing - and mountaineering equipment...
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- ..at its factory - in Llanberis, Snowdonia.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- The equipment is sold - to 66 countries across the world...
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- ..and they send out - around 100 packages every day.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- The company was founded in 1981, - employing four people.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Nowadays, 185 people work here...
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- ..many of whom speak Welsh.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- For help to follow the programme, - use the website and the app...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22- PHONE
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Good morning, DMM. Can I help you?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- I look after the engineering side - of the DMM business, in the factory.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- I'm a Managing Director - of the company.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- I came here for what I thought - was three months in 1998.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- I came here - as part of a partnership scheme...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- ..between the University of Bangor - and local workplaces.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- They sent out graduates for three - months and DMM asked me to stay.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- They gave me a 12-month contract and - that led to a full-time contract.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- I worked as a designer initially - and I really enjoyed it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Designing on a computer in 3D - is really great.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Manufacturing that product is great.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Going into production and - seeing it in shops is great too.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Knowing that the items we - manufacture save lives is wonderful.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- It's nice - to see our products being used.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- We started with 70 people...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- ..and that's gone up to 185 or 188.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- We have plans - to expand the business again.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- The technology we use has moved on.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- It's great - to see something succeed...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- ..especially here, in Wales.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Very few people do what we do.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Nobody else does it under one roof.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- A lot of people dread going to work - in the mornings.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Don't tell my wife, - but I like being here!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- She knows that really.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I tackle different challenges - every day.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- We're very fortunate...
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- ..because we have a team of people - who are experts on what we do.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- We do every single thing, - from start to finish here...
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- ..which means everything - is under our supervision.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52- I'm a forger.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- This is my press.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- We forge a few different things.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Carabiners, buddys, cams - and all sorts of things.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- It's a very interesting job.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- People's lives - depend on these things.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- These items are made in Wales - and they're used around the world.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- I've been here for ten months.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- I came here - for three months originally.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- It's very important...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- ..that we measure - completely accurately.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- The heat of the oven and the press - has to be spot-on...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- ..to make sure - the components are right.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- It takes three months - to train to do this job.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Once you're fully trained, - you forge items here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59- One person will hit around - 1,000 carabiners in a single shift.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- This keeps going 24 hours a day.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- We turn out a lot of items in a day.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- This is the oven.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- It's a bit bigger - that the oven you have at home!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- It's a hot job, - but it's nice in the winter.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- I clean the tools...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- ..and make sure - the tools are maintained.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- When they've been out in the press, - they come back into the toolroom.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- I speak Welsh at work - most of the time.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- Four or five of us speak Welsh - and two or three are English.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- We speak both languages here, - but Welsh is our main language.
0:07:10 > 0:07:16- The way DMM works is similar to - the way the slate industry worked.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- The company is self-sufficient.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28- All the equipment and moulds - are created onsite, in the toolroom.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- There was a similar room - in slate quarries.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Every mould is prepared and cleaned - in the toolroom.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Every piece of equipment - has its own mould and unique name.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Names like Boa, - Cam, Buddy and so on.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- When the rods - are bent into the initial shape...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- ..carabiners are heated in - a red-hot oven to strengthen them.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- They're then moved to a machine - which smoothes the edges.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- The carabiners - are then moved to the CNC machine...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- ..where the detailed work is done.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I operate the machines you see here.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- I set the CNC machines too.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- If tools break, I change them.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- That's the type of work I do.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Everything works around the designs.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- The designers create designs, - programmes are created...
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- ..the components are machined - to size or to a certain detail...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- ..then they go to the next area.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- What I enjoy most about my job - is learning new skills.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- I go to college one day a week...
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- ..as part of a three-year - engineering course.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- I'm learning to work with lathes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- There are other programmes - like this one.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- We do more technical work here - than we do at college.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- College is more hands-on - and you think more here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28- Mathematics and so on.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- I speak Welsh all the time at work.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I speak English to my manager - because he's English...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- ..but the lads speak Welsh.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- I'd say 90% - of the people here speak Welsh.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- This carabinera goes into - the machine looking like that...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- ..and it comes out - looking like this...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- ..having been drilled.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- It's drilled here, here and here.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- After every run, we check - one in every eight components.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Go - green goes through.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- No go - red doesn't go through.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- This gauge is the same idea - - go, no-go.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- We put the go in the thread.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- It must rotate nine turns...
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- ..to show the component is machined - to drawing specification.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- We work - to incredibly small tolerances.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- We work to 0.1mm, so that's - how excellent our work is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54- Olrhain - trace.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Peirianneg - engineering.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Llygoden - mouse.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Morthwyl - hammer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:26- .

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- This time, we're surrounded - by flames and lasers...
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- ..as we see how DMM manufactures - climbing and mountaineering gear.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- Are we winning?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Do they go through?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Yes, they go through.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- They're better, aren't they?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Johnny said so yesterday.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I've managed the assembly - for eight years.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Like everyone else, - I started at the bottom...
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- ..labelling in the warehouse.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- They asked me - to come and work down here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- There are 30 staff in - this department, working under me.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- We also have other small departments - - walnuts and inspection.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- There are four or five - working there too.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- It's my job to get - the work out to everyone in here...
0:12:55 > 0:13:01- ..to make sure I achieve the monthly - targets given to me by the factory.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- It's stressful and there's a lot of - pressure on me to get the work out.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- Things go wrong, things get damaged - and we have breakdowns and so on.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- I keep spirits high - and encourage them to work for me.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21- That sounds wrong!
0:13:22 > 0:13:23- They work hard.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- I wouldn't be here if these - good people didn't work hard.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- It'll be better.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- The pin will stick out much better.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I'm a technical assembler.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Everything comes in pieces - and we assemble it all by hand.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- I can do up to 600 or 700 in a day.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Assembly - is at the very heart of DMM.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- I can't make mistakes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- If I make mistakes - and they leave the building...
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- ..it will cost a lot of money - to dismantle them.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- But there is a way to deal with it - and that's what we do.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- We speak Wenglish - - half English, half Welsh!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- I call it lazy Welsh.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- It's easier and quicker - to use an English word.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- We all speak the same language!
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- The English members of staff learn - Welsh and we have fun with them.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- They sometimes use long, correct - Welsh words which leave us baffled!
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- But we also use perfect Welsh - when we talk to them...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- ..and we swear in Welsh!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- We've got good banter here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- I'm a quality engineer.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I sort out problems...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- ..and I test new products.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- I've been learning Welsh - for three years.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- The people at work are very patient.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- They help me on the shop floor...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- ..and they speak Welsh to me.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- They speak slowly.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- That helps.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- I learn Welsh by talking to people - on the shop floor.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- I have a little baby.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- She's ten months old.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- She's learning Welsh too!
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- I work in customer services.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I have to answer - a lot of technical questions...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- ..about harnesses or carabiners.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Things like that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I've been learning Welsh...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- ..for around four years.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- I started to learn Welsh...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- ..because I had two children...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- ..five years ago.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- I speak Welsh with my children, - with the people in the office...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- ..and with the people - in the warehouse.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- They're extremely patient.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- When I learn Welsh in class...
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- ..my tutor - always speaks very slowly.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26- But when I come here, the people - in the office speak really quickly.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- I get real experience here.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- I'm a laser operator.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- I add whatever information needs to - be etched onto our products.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- The products arrive here - with no writing on them.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- I put them in the machine - and prepare the programme.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Each product has a serial number.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- We use it to track - when it was made and who made it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- We also add the relevant, - all-important standard mark.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- All that information - is lasered onto the equipment.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- Should there be a problem, we know - when it was made and who made it...
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- ..all the way back to its arrival - here as an aluminium bar.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- We can find the details - through the whole process.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- We know who did what - and whether it was done correctly.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- I like the variety in this job.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- The text and the laser - may be the same...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- ..but the equipment changes.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- I don't know what to do now.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- What can I say? - I'm always quiet at this time.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- I'm a warehouse worker and we get - things ready to go to the shops.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- We put tags and labels on them...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- ..ready to be shipped to shops.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- There are a lot of different jobs - and it's always busy here.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27- It never stops.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Seriously - it never stops.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- Eight of us work in this warehouse - and four work in the other one.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- They bring work through to us - from the other warehouse.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- My daughter works here with me - and she's fantastic.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- She's a good worker.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- I thought I'd have trouble with her - but she's good.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53- She's a hard worker.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- We speak Welsh all the time - at work...
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- ..but when the sales people - come through, they speak English.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- It is hard to switch - from Welsh to English at times...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- ..but we teach Welsh - to English people too.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14- I'll carry on with this.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- Alright?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- I'm a goods-out operator.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- I send goods out - to different countries every day.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- We use couriers - like DPD, UPS and TNT...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- ..to send items to all sorts - of places every single day.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- We send goods to America, - South Africa and all of Europe.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- We send good all over England, - Wales, Scotland...
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- ..and to Austria.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Loads of places.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Canada, New Zealand, - Australia, Rhosgadfan.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Our most popular ones - are Germany and Norway.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Climbing equipment is really - popular there, for some reason.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Thanks to DPD, - we can deliver to the whole country.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- There isn't a place - where we don't send goods.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- The best part of my job - is getting everything out.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- We have targets to meet, - so we need everything to go through.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- If we reach our targets, - we get a bonus.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- When I go to Liverpool or Cardiff...
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- ..I go to climbing shops - and think, "I packed those."
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- They were made over there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Golygfa - view.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Cydosod - assemble.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Offer - equipment.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Anfon - send.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Byd-eang - worldwide.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Afiach - disgusting.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- It's really important - to speak Welsh at work.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- I'm glad I can speak Welsh.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- I speak Welsh with everyone - at work and that's important.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- We live in Wales.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- It's easier for me - because I went to a Welsh school.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- All my friends speak Welsh.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- It's easier for me - if I can speak Welsh all day.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- DMM is based on quality.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Nothing other than that - leaves this place.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- We manufacture Ferrari carabiners.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Go to Italy or China - and you'll get Skoda carabiners!
