Cardiff-based Aluminium fabricator Dudley's invests £96,000 in machinery

The Cardiff-based aluminium fabricator Dudley's Aluminium has injected £96,000 in machinery as it pursues to work on multiple important projects across the UK.

The company has procured a Phantomatic M3 CNC machining centre, featuring three controlled axes allowing processing on three sides of the work-piece, as well as an electronic double mitre saws complete with a metal swarf extractor and connection kit.

The machines have been purchased from Emmegi, a supplier of advanced equipment for aluminium, light-alloy and steel fabricators, to enhance Dudley’s existing major CNC machining centre.

CNC machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools.

Colin Shorney, Managing Director, Dudley’s Aluminium, said: "We are pleased to have made this significant investment in state-of-the-art machinery, adding to our modern, well-equipped production facilities.

"As well as increasing workplace safety, the new purchases will provide us with greater manufacturing flexibility, allowing us to operate more efficiently and take on more projects in the future."
