In its relatively short life the company has built a sound reputation on high quality work and fast turnaround.
To maintain this status and grow his business managing director Gary Brogan recognised that he had to remove the need for secondary finishing.
"We mainly handle small batches down to one-offs in stainless, aluminium and brass up to 4mm thick".
"So choosing a machine that was easy to set up and economical to run was vital," Brogan explained.
The Trumatic TC2000 embraced these qualities.
"Rotation of all tools has given us great flexibility." By investing in a machine whose output is of the quality standard required Brogan has boosted profitability and eliminated potential outsourcing delays.
"The TC2000 has already opened the door to new opportunities for us," Brogan concludes.
"We are taking it slowly and gradually adding new operations such as forming and tapping to our TC2000. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
