Continuous investment programme up to 20 percent of turnover.

All our Citizen, Miyano and Star multi-axis lathes have full 'Lights-out' machining capability and tool protection with both off-line and on-machine programming for maximum flexibility, high productivity and fast changeover.

Our strategy is to use the latest technology to automate the production process from integrated management and business software through automated tool control, programmable component cleaning to quality control and process traceability.
