Castle Precision recognised as best manufacturer in the UK

Established in 1951, Castle Precision Engineering is an AS 9100-approved first tier supplier to the aerospace, defence and energy sectors. With over half a century of experience in machining critical precision components and over 70 major CNC machine tools, Castle is one of the foremost independent subcontract production facilities in Europe. The award was presented by Lord Digby Jones, judged by Joe Greenwell, chairman of Ford Britain, and Allan Cook, chairman of engineering group Atkins. Castle Precision Engineering also collected the award for the Kingston Smiths-sponsored SME Manufacturer of The Year and finished as a finalist in the Columbus IT-sponsored IT in Manufacturing Award. "We were absolutely delighted to win both the SME and Manufacturer of the Year Awards 2010," said Castle Precision's managing director Marcus Tiefenbrun (pictured): "These awards are the culmination of many years of effort and recognise the excellence we aspire to. It is a great honour to win these highly prestigious awards, and this year we won in the face of intense competition from some of the best companies in the UK. "It's difficult to overstate how important winning this award is. We have been judged to be the very best manufacturer in the whole of the UK. We must thank our customers for the valuable contribution they have made to our advancement as a manufacturer. Their assistance, commitment and partnership have been instrumental in our success. This is a tremendous achievement for Castle and once again a tribute to each and every person working here."
