Machined Component Systems invests in CNC machine tools

In its 25th anniversary year the business, which employs 34 people at its 25,000ft² facility in Redditch, said it had made the investment to maintain its partnership sourcing relationships with blue chip manufacturers and to build on its role in extend those companies' manufacturing capabilities. MCS supplies a range of turned, milled and drilled parts and precision engineered machined components to customers in industry sectors including automotive, petrochemical, environmental, transport, marine, healthcare and white goods. Managing director, Warren Gray (pictured) says: "Our continuous investment in equipment and our people working with a positive 'can do' philosophy sets us apart in our ability to work in close collaboration with customers in providing cost-effective, high quality machining solutions. "The strong driver of continuous improvement in every facet of the business naturally embraced the introduction of one hit machining and the initial machines for such a strategy were introduced during the late 1980s. However, it was the introduction of Tornos, Doosan and Miyano machines – from Tornos Technologies, Citizen Machinery UK and Mills Manufacturing – that emphasised the benefits in captivating this technology through cost-effective machining times and finished machined quality." The company has recently reinstated apprenticeships as a sign of confidence in the future.
