MTL continue to invest in new state-of-the-art Hartford Machining Centre

MTL Advanced have continued to invest in the latest technology and this has been one of the key drivers to MTL’s recent success, and the securing of highly anticipated Defence contracts for armoured steel led the company to invest £300,000 in September 2020 to acquire a new state-of-the-art Hartford machining centre. The new machine arrived in late September and has now been commissioned at the Rotherham based site.

The new 2100mm x 1600mm x780(1070)mm Double Column Vertical Machining Centre will boost the productivity of the machining cell and provide a much needed increase in capacity. The additional demand for machining services has created opportunities for 8 new CNC millers to join the team at MTL, providing more job vacancies during their major recruitment drive.

Karl Stewart, General Manager at MTL Advanced stated: “Due to a successful couple of months, we are able to continue investing in new machinery to keep us at the forefront of the industry. MTL is one of the very few companies in the UK which are able to machine and fabricate complex armoured parts, and this new investment will strengthen our position as the industry leading armoured steel contract manufacturer. Our sales forecasts are now 20% over pre-COVID-19 targets and we now require more outstanding individuals to join our workforce to deliver on our customers’ expectations.”
