Machining Services
Sub-Contract Machining
Clarke Chapman has made a significant £1.2 million investment in our Gateshead headquarters, enhancing our machining capabilities with cutting-edge technology. This investment includes the addition of two new Horizontal Borers and the CNC retrofit and refurbishment of our existing XL specialist Floor Borer. Complementing these advancements is the implementation of new CAM Software designed to optimize our machining processes.
The 4000 sqm facility at Gateshead will now feature these state-of-the-art machines, solidifying Clarke Chapman Machining’s position as a respected provider of subcontract machining services across all engineering sectors. This enhancement not only increases our capacity but also ensures we continue to deliver the highest quality and precision in our machining operations.
