News: Newburgh invests in Rotherham site on the back of a record month

Rotherham firm Newburgh Engineering has invested significantly in new equipment to enhance its high precision engineering services.

The equipment includes a 5th Giddings & Lewis Horizontal Borer and a 3rd BoKo Six-Axis machine. Both machines will be used to produce larger complex components to service the needs of a wide customer base in industries ranging from aerospace to oil & gas, nuclear to defence.

The investment comes on the back of a record month for orders and sales at Newburgh Engineering, which, considering the challenging economic times, demonstrates the company's strength in the market.

Matthew Jewitt, Commercial Manager of Newburgh Engineering, said: "We are continuing to invest in our business to ensure we meet our customer's requirements. These new machines will strengthen our capability and cement our position at the forefront of UK contract manufacturing.

"This latest investment in equipment comes at a time when we are also looking to recruit a number of skilled staff and Apprentices, to ensure we continue to meet the needs of industry for a long time into the future.

"The fact that 2010 has produced a record month in our 70 year history was a great achievement for us and is down to the quality of our people and service, underpinned by our technology and equipment."

Newburgh Engineering recently secured a major contract in the nuclear sector, which will be worth up to £20m over the next 10 years. Newburgh utilises manufacturing cells, dedicated groups of resources operated by a team of multi-skilled individuals that are committed to producing a product or products for one customer.

Last month the Templeborough company celebrated the success of the "New Era" apprenticeship programme, with the appointment of three new trainee engineers.
