Says 2D CNC Machinery director David Johnson: “Matthew was an apprentice at a boiler manufacturer and then worked in maintenance departments in both subcontract aerospace and automotive sector firms prior to joining a leading UK aerospace and defence systems company. This is an ideal background and experience level we need to support the level of technology we supply and, in particular, in support of maintenance contracts for manufacturing cell and systemisation installations.”
Rae joins an expanding operation. 2D CNC Machinery recently appointed Peter Colledge to increase customer sales support in the south in support of the Mitsui Seiki, Fermat, OKK, Reiden and Wele product ranges, plus the specialist automation now offered via the technical alliance between 2D CNC and French company Halbronn.
In addition to supply of new machine tools and systems engineering, 2D CNC has the internal expertise to source, re-engineer, recondition, and retool grinding equipment. For example, turbocharger shaft and wheel rotor assemblies maker Erlson Precision Components in Skelmersdale has had 21 cylindrical, anglehead and groove production grinding machines installed, re-engineered and retooled by 2D CNC.
Adds Johnson: “Here, Matthew’s experience and skill base in machine tool engineering is important to ensure machines supplied by us are fit-for-purpose and have the productivity, capability and reliability levels required.”
