A new sole agent for the UK and Irish markets has been appointed by Taiwanese machine tool manufacturer, Leadwell CNC Machines, Taichung.

Newly formed WH-Lead Ltd, Foundry Place, Old Tiffield Road, Towcester, NN12 6FP is a sister company of Whitehouse Machine Tools, a long established agency for well-known ranges of machining centres and CNC lathes manufactured in Japan, Germany, Italy and also Taiwan.

With immediate effect, WH-Lead takes over sales and service of Leadwell’s growing range of turning centres and vertical-spindle machining centres. Seamless continuity of supply in Britain and Ireland is assured, as Mike Heapy and Brendan Parrott from the previous agent, Lead Precision Machine Tools, have joined the new organisation.

They bring with them 30 years’ experience of the Taiwanese manufacturer and its products and additionally will be able to draw on the resources and expertise of Whitehouse Machine Tools in Kenilworth.

A representative selection of Leadwell machines will be available for demonstration in the new Towcester facility from May this year. Other machine models are available on short delivery from stock held in Europe and Taiwan. All can be supplied with either a Fanuc or Siemens control.

In related news, Leadwell has announced that in its 40th anniversary year it has moved to a 43,500m² purpose-built factory in Taichung with a capacity for building 100 machines per month. Production is evenly split between lathes and machining centres, which are sold worldwide by a network of 45 dealers.

Approximately one-third of production is exported to Europe. The manufacturer is proud of its progression from a seven-employee company when it was founded in 1980 to a global supplier of a broad range of CNC machine tools renowned for speed, precision, reliability and affordability.
