Says managing director Guy Mollart: “We originally established a subcontract production operation around our core capability of gundrilling and drilling larger depth-to-diameter holes in a wide variety of materials. This was expanded into adding production value to deep hole processing and eventually, following an extensive investment, the company has established a full and highly successful subcontract manufacturing and assembly operation.”
Indeed, over the last two years alone, some £2.5 million has been invested by Mollart in its facilities, plant and equipment, software and services to both sites. Amongst the latest additions to the multi-feature, single cycle subcontract operational strategies often involving 5-axis cycles, are clean room assembly and welding and fabrication. These facilities are in support of a customer base that includes automotive, defence, sub-sea, nuclear, semiconductor, medical, optical, mould and die, telecommunications and oil and gas. Also, with Mollart gaining its AS9100 aerospace accreditation, further new business is being undertaken for the aerospace sector.
The other aspect of its stand is a range of single-source tooling products for hole creation and additional feature machining such as grooving, deburring and surface finishing. Says exhibition stand manager Mark Dore: “Amongst the tooling being presented at the show will be a range of Botek deep hole drills covering micro-drills, gundrills, BTA, and ejector series plus tooling, much allied to specialist solution type operational applications, from the Bencere, Ecoroll and Elliott ranges of roller burnishing, grooving, spotfacing and deburring tooling.”
