CNC Multitasking Machining
Our Mazak Integrex machines enable complex component production in single setups. This reduces lead times while maintaining precision for intricate geometries across metal and plastic materials. Ideal for aerospace and medical device manufacturing sectors requiring tight tolerances.
CNC Milling
3- and 4-axis machining centres handle components up to 1.7m in length. Network integration with CAM software ensures efficient programming for large batch production of industrial and defence sector components requiring high accuracy.
CNC Turning
2- and 3-axis lathes with live tooling produce turned components from 10mm to 400mm diameters. Barfeed systems enable continuous production of complex shafts and connectors for automotive and electronics industries.
Quality Control
Dedicated quality department with CMM and precision tools ensures 100% inspection compliance. We provide PPAP, ISIR, and material certificates for critical applications in regulated industries like defence and aerospace.
Materials Machining
Machining capabilities span 30+ materials including stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, and engineering plastics. Our engineers optimise cutting parameters for each material to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish integrity.

Report
Dont pay their workers enough! Most of their workers dont even work 90% of the time. Treat their employees appallingly and selfish.
