GWR Fasteners Limited is delighted to announce they have a new arrival. Making an appearance just over a week ago and weighing in at more than 3 tonnes, we have an additional CNC sliding head lathe, because when it comes to precision engineering, there’s really no such thing as “too many machines”, just not enough floor space.
This latest investment builds on the company’s already efficient production, giving the team even more capability to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. In practical terms, it means faster turnaround times, improved consistency, and even greater flexibility across both small bespoke batches and large-scale production runs. For customers, that means less waiting and more getting things done.
The new machine also opens the door to taking on more complex and technically demanding work, all while maintaining the high standards GWR Fasteners is known for. It’s another way the business continues to evolve, quietly making things quicker, better, and just that little bit easier for its customers.
Dan Farrar, lead CNC Setter/Operator, commented:
"I started here as an apprentice back in 2017, so seeing another machine arrive is always a good day. It really helps us keep everything ticking along nicely. We can get through jobs more efficiently, take on a wider range of work, and stay on top of demand. It also means we can turn things around quicker for customers, which is what it’s all about."
While the machine itself might be the headline, it’s the continued investment in both technology and the team which really drives the business forward. GWR Fasteners remains committed to improving, growing, and delivering the reliable, responsive service its customers have come to expect, just now with a little extra horsepower (and a slightly busier workshop).
