A world-leading UK manufacturer of advanced tube-bending technology has endorsed the traditional quality of British-built machine tools, guaranteed local parts and service support by acquiring a Colchester-Harrison Alpha 1550XS CNC lathe.
600 Group, the manufacturer and distributor of precision engineering products to international markets, says that high quality conventional and manual/CNC lathes have been the most resilient during the world’s unprecedented economic turmoil.
Newcastle-under-Lyme’s brand new £60 million further education college has turned to the proven reliability, build-quality and affordability of Harrison M300 lathes to equip its state-of-the-art engineering training facility.
The Openhouse event held last month at 600 Europe’s Heckmondwike site has been heralded as a great success for the Group.
Investment in a Colchester-Harrison Tornado TT6 Twin Turret CNC turn-mill centre from 600 UK is paying handsome dividends in machining accuracy, speed and cost-value for one of the largest stainless steel engineering specialists in the north of England.
Operators of older British-built Colchester and Harrison traditional centre lathes, which may have been in service for several decades, can now have them cost-effectively re-engineered to ‘as new’ condition by the original manufacturers.
Mike Berry has been appointed Managing Director of 600 Europe, responsible for managing and developing the Group’s newly centralised machine tools business in the UK and Continental Europe.
A strategic product development team has been created within The 600 Group’s Machine Tools Division, to focus on product strategy and new product development for the Group’s global markets.
