TECHNICAL MEMBERSHIP FOR TURNING TECHNOLOGIES

August 2005

Turning Technologies UK Ltd (TTUK), the sole UK distributor for Nakamura-Tome super high precision turning centres, is one of the latest companies to be invited to join, as a technical member, the BTMA, the trade association of precision turned parts and machined components manufacturers.

TTUK was established in May 2004 and is focused entirely on the sale and support of Nakamura-Tome twin spindle, twin turret, fixed head turning centres in the UK. Its inclusion to the BTMA as a technical member has been seen by the company as recognition of its strategy to specialise purely in turning and develop a level of technical expertise which reflects Nakamura-Tome’s leading global position.

Richard Turner, Managing Director of TTUK, commented “We are delighted to have been invited to join the BTMA as technical members. We are passionate about turning and believe that the market values companies who are real experts in their field; companies who are capable of providing the best solutions and advice, and this is what we have been trying to create over the last 15 months. The invitation to join the association demonstrates that our industry peers recognise this strategy and we look forward to making a contribution to the Association’s aims.”

TTUK will also be looking to forge closer links with customers and fellow experts through its involvement with the Association. It will regularly attend group meetings and events to gain valuable insights from the market place so that it can understand fully the market challenges that its customers face and be in a suitable position to develop solutions to these issues.

The BTMA was established to encourage, assist and promote its members so that they are a competitive force in the global market. The Association currently has 72 full members and 24 technical members.

TTTUK is a member of the Engineering Technology Group, based in Southam Warwickshire. Other companies within the Group include Chiron UK, the leading manufacturer of high-speed machining centres; Hyfore, a manufacturer of manual, pneumatic and hydraulic work holding and clamping systems; and Hyformation, a provider of automation systems for the machine tool industry.
