We are trusted suppliers to to some of the worlds biggest automotive companies (Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, BMW Mini, Stellantis (Vauxhall) and their tier one and two supply chains.

We plan to purchase a new 5 Axis multi pallet CNC Milling machine to increase our capabilities and capacity to enter new markets.
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
