11 May 2011 - Yamazaki Mazak UK Limited
Bringing it Back to
Britain promotes UK engineering businesses, particularly those that
work in key sectors. Embracing much of the engineering supply chain,
the event includes: Precision Machinists, Toolmakers, Moulders,
Metrologists, Press Manufacturing, Cad/Cam Software, Cutting Tools,
Jig and Fixtures & Workholding equipment.
Over the last year the trend has been for large OEMs to reconsider
their policies with regards to outsourcing. Companies have reported
work returning to the UK which previously would have been placed in
low cost economies. This exciting reversal of business strategy is
in the wake of the cost implications of project managing overseas
production and the benefits of British engineering expertise.
Venue -
Yamzaki Mazak -
Badgeworth Drive, Worcester WR4 9NF.
Mazak’s Worcester plant is perhaps the
most complete and up to date machine tool manufacturing plant in
Europe. Over 85% of the Worcester plant’s production is exported
into continental Europe.
It is not just an assembly plant but a complete machine tool
manufacturing plant operating just-in-time and flexible output
techniques necessary in today’s competitive global marketplace.
Their new European Technical Centre is situated on the same
Worcester site and , with the latest innovations in high performance
machining technology on display together under one roof, Mazak is
able to help European and UK manufacturers achieve significant
