Investment in the latest engineering technology
We are pleased to announce further investment (over $1 Million USD) in our state of the art machine shop with the purchase of a Mazak Hyperquadrex 250 MSY. This machine represents the latest in precision engineering technology and is fitted with Mazak Smooth Technology, a 3” diameter bar feeder and the very latest in robotic automation from Hydrafeed. This exciting project is involving numerous organisations in collaboration, to ensure that the Mazak will be fully functional and operational upon delivery and installation in the New Year. This new Mazak will work alongside our current Mazak Integrex i-400ST.
Tom Stonier (Manufacturing Engineering Manager) stated “This fantastic new purchase is the latest part of our ongoing investment programme and will further complement our range of high precision CNC machinery. By investing in our in-house manufacturing capabilities we are able to offer our customers competitive prices, quick response times and the highest quality valves on the market”.
We are looking forward to installing the equipment in December with it going fully operational in early 2018. Stay tuned for further information and updates about this project and many others including further investments.
