Precision machining specialist caps £1m investment

One of the UK’s leading precision machining specialists has taken its investment to £1m with the installation of a fourth device in just two years.

Muller Holdings, which employs 130 people across its four sites in the West Midlands and South Wales, says the new equipment will help it meet increases in automotive work and free-up capacity for new contracts.

“This is the fourth Nakamura we have purchased from the Engineering Technology Group, equating to over £1m of investment in the latest CNC technology to help us continue to supply our global customer base with precision parts,” said Adam Cunningham, managing director of Muller Redditch.

“All of the machines have been very reliable and offer excellent cutting performance. The latest one has three turrets and twin spindles that allow us to overlap a number of secondary ops, making the overall process quicker. This approach has now been adopted for other parts and is proving very successful in helping us win new business both at home and abroad.”

Jon Mannion, regional sales manager at ETG, said: “Customers are continually looking at ways where they can speed up processes yet retain the same level of accuracy. The Nakamura range is perfect for doing this, with its three turret, twin spindle capability now making machining faster than ever before.”
