Newburgh Precision’s commitment and determination to grow in the defence sector is highlighted by the recent installation of a new £500,000 CNC gantry machining centre. The Kafo KMC-4140 double column gantry was purchased from TDT Technology to meet the demand of a defence contract awarded in the first quarter of 2017.
Lee Townsend, sales director said: “The machine strengthens our already extensive capacity. Although it was purchased with one contract in mind, we have had the opportunity to utilise spare pockets of capacity to prove out new work which has led to additional orders.”
The new business has coincided with a raft of internal restructuring. David Greenan, who has been managing director for the last five years and has 43 years’ service with the business, takes up the position of vice chairman, taking over chairman, Vince Middleton’s duties whilst he focuses on other projects. Mr Greenan has also become a director of Sizer, a pelleting solutions manufacturer which has recently moved into new premises after being based within the Newburgh Precision factory in Rotherham.
Danny Gibbons, operations director has, after 15 years with the business, taken up the role of managing Director. Sales director Lee Townsend and Matthew Jewitt, business systems director remain in their current roles. To current business growth levels, CNC programmer Jack Pickford has been promoted to the position of sales engineer.
Newburgh Precision is currently recruiting a number of CNC horizontal borer/milling machinists and a CNC vertical borer vacancy to help meet growth in the defence and aerospace sectors.
