Vericut provide superior CNC simulation and service
ELE Advanced Technologies, a leading UK manufacturer of turbine parts for the aerospace and power generation sectors, is tapping into the benefits of Vericut Force software to reduce its cost of consumables (cutting tools) by an impressive 20% per component. This is in addition to cycle time reductions of 11%. Together, these savings mean ELE Advanced Technologies is on track to achieve a return on investment (ROI) of less than 12 months, keeping ELE competitive with key customers by mitigating the current economic environment where manufacturing inflation & cost pressures remain high.
With its state-of-the-art, 180-employee headquarters and manufacturing facility in Nelson, Lancashire, ELE Advanced Technologies has grown considerably from its origins in 1955 supplying parts to local industry. Today, the tier-one supplier’s global customer base includes blue-chip multinationals such as Rolls-Royce, Safran, GE Aerospace and Siemens.
Privately owned since a management buyout in 2000, business is currently strong at ELE Advanced Technologies, where adjoining land allocated to support further growth could soon come into play. The current site in Nelson has been home for the past three years, initially providing an extra 40% of shop-floor space. However, heavy investment quickly saw the space filled.
