Grand Opening for Turning Technologies

December 2004

Mr Kenichi Nakamura, President of Nakamura-Tome, was guest of honour at the official opening ceremony for Southam-based Turning Technologies UK Ltd on 27th November. Turning Technologies recently secured the sole UK and Ireland agency for Nakamura-Tome’s super precision turning centres. Mr Nakamura travelled from Japan especially to join representatives from some of Britain’s leading manufacturers as guests of Turning Technologies UK Ltd.

The Grand Opening ceremony followed on from a highly successful joint Open House for Turning Technologies and Chiron that further cemented the company’s rapidly growing reputation in the market. During the weekend guests were treated to a sneak preview of some of the exciting new turning centres due to be launched by Turning Technologies and Nakamura in 2005. The new machines which all feature exciting new technology and leading edge capabilities, are due to be officially launched next year at Turning Technologies in Southam.

As Richard Turner of Turning Technologies explains, “We were delighted when we were appointed the agency agreement with Nakamura-Tome for UK and Ireland, and have quickly moved to create a dedicated team of factory-trained Nakamura specialists and a comprehensive stock of spare parts. We believe our success is based on our determination to be focused exclusively on Nakamura-Tome turning centres.

“We have already had significant orders for the twin-spindle, multi-axis turning centres and we are excited for 2005 as we embark on our long term relationship with Nakamura-Tome”

Since its creation in 1949, Nakamura-Tome has built an enviable reputation for its high-quality, high technology turning machines. Its range encompasses a wide spectrum of machines, from single-spindle, two-axis lathes up to four-turret, twin-spindle turning centres and systems with integrated tool-changing capabilities.

Speaking at the gala dinner that followed the opening ceremony, Mr Nakamura said that he was delighted to be working with Turning Technologies. He said that Turning Technologies had impressed him from the start with its understanding that Nakamura customers expect an unbeatable level of service and total engineered solutions, from conception to completion and beyond.

Turning Technologies is a member of the Engineering Technology Group.
