Big investment for South West precision manufacturer

Big investment for South West precision manufacturer

Bridgwater-based M-CNC has ambitious growth plans and has invested £2.75 million in DMG Mori machine tools and automation.

Specialising in the manufacture of high-quality, high-value components for the aerospace, motorsport, chemical, oil and gas and leisure industries, M-CNC is set to triple in size since its launch in 2011.

Leigh Howarth, business development manager at M-CNC said: “We are purchasing eight DMG Mori machines which will give us the ability to process large 5-axis parts up to 2.5m long and 750mm diameter. We are completely automating our existing product lines and introducing a rapid response cell for a 10-day turnaround of orders. Our aim is to become a centre of excellence for the South West of England.”

The company chose DMG Mori as its supplier and machine tool partner because of the range of machines it offers, its dynamic product development, the aesthetics of the machines themselves and the support offered. M-CNC employs 17 people with four apprentices and is actively seeking more skilled engineers to work in its state of the art facility.

To complement its investment in DMG Mori machines, M-CNC has also purchased Edgecam CAD/CAM software and Javelin ERP/MRP from Vero Software. This will integrate with the DMG Mori Celos interface and, together with further investment in modular storage, tooling and inspection equipment, will enable the company to work towards Industry 4.0.

Mr Howarth concluded: “We aim to achieve zero defects by engaging the workforce in the complete manufacturing cycle. We are already very close to that target and our mantra is to ‘be the best we can be at all times’.

“The investment we are making will motivate our staff and inspire them to take full advantage of the capabilities of the advanced machinery we are installing, enabling us to deliver excellence to our customers.”
