An update from Metaltech Precision

 

Metaltech Precision is driving ahead with its five-year plan for sustainable growth as a leading manufacturer of CNC machining and fabrication solutions to a range of demanding sectors.

“We are seeing a growing demand for precision machining and fabrication from larger contractors and OEMs,” reports General Manager Andy Riste. “Metaltech Precision has built a strong reputation for delivering high quality components for demanding industries, and Tier 1 and 2 contractors are increasingly turning to Metaltech Precision to provide turnkey solutions.”

Sustained CNC machining and fabrication investment

As the company continues to attract large contracts from sectors such as Aerospace and Defence, Riste says Metaltech Precision continues to invest heavily in its plant, machinery, technology and people.

“This is an exciting time for our business, as we become a trusted supplier for larger supply contracts. The impact is visible right across our company, with enhanced systems and capability, as well as a continuing focus on sustainability.”

Alongside growth, Metaltech Precision is investing to ensure the business builds firm foundations for the future:

 

Investing in our team

  1. Accreditation: Metaltech Precision is currently in the process of attaining ISO 3834-2 welding accreditation, confirming that we meet comprehensive quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
  2. Leadership training: We are working with the South West Manufacturing Advisory Service (SWMAS) to deliver leadership training to support the development of our team. The first round of lower-level management training has been completed and further training is taking place for senior managers.
  3. Apprentices: We remain committed to investment in a full apprenticeship scheme to develop local skills, invest in our future and support our industry. We work hard to raise the profile of manufacturing in the local economy, and have recently enrolled three new apprentices to join our team.

 

New tool pre-setter

Our recent investment in a Zoller tool pre-setter has further improved the efficiency of our manufacturing processes, delivering cost-efficiencies for our customers. This world-leading technology and innovative software allows us to optimise our tooling by enabling off-the-job preparation such as high-precision presetting and measuring.

 

Investment in the environment

As a leading British manufacturer, we are acutely aware of our environmental impact and are committed to minimising it wherever possible.

To support this commitment, we have invested in a new coolant management system, which is projected to save approximately £40,000 per year on cutting oil. This investment not only reduces costs for our customers but also promotes more sustainable operational practices.

 

Made in the UK

Metaltech Precision is proud to provide high quality CNC machining and fabrication services from our facility in Chard, Somerset. Global economic, political and social considerations now make it more important than ever to offer customers an increasingly wide range of sourcing options. Components ‘Made in Britain’ can offer high quality, precision-engineered solutions, delivered on time and without the risks and environmental impact of a global supply chain.

 

Comprehensive manufacturing support

As part of Expromet Technologies Group, customers of Metaltech Precision also benefit from access to the group’s technical expertise in all aspects of casting, machining and fabrication.

“We are a leading provider of precision CNC machining and fabrication solutions for performance critical industries,” says Riste. “Our customers benefit from our strong relationships with complementary advanced casting companies within Expromet, enabling us to find the optimal manufacturing process for high quality components, and deliver world-class engineering solutions across the world.”
