Our new long bed Elumatic 4 axis CNC machine is fully commissioned and in production. We can now offer complex machining on any aluminum extrusion up-to 7.6metre length at highly competitive rates in attractive lead-times. This compliments our existing extensive aluminum profile machining facilities which are detailed within our machining and fabrication section of our website. Combining with our on site extrusion presses and finishing facilities we can offer a fuller and more complete one-stop service.
