This powerful, high-performance, horizontal turning centre, in addition to existing Doosan Puma plant already operated by MPM, provides the Company with massive heavy cutting machining capacity.

With large chuck size and bar diameter capacity, the Doosan Puma 4100B Lathe, configured with FANUC 32iT CNC Specification, is designed to provide optimised cutting capability, processing complex workpieces in a one step operation for a wide variety of applications.

2016 – Major Investment in Plant and Training Opportunities

2016 is an exciting year for MPM with planned major investment in plant and apprenticeship opportunities. The first of several new hi spec machines are due to arrive in late Spring/early Summer and Engineering Apprenticeship Opportunities will be announced shortly.

On 20th August, 7 of MPMs staff joined with over 20 friends and family members to embark on a 250 mile cycle challenge, from London to Paris. The Challenge Team of 18 cyclists and 8 back up crew, followed the Avenue Verte route which took them from Central London, over the South Downs to Newhaven, where they crossed, by Ferry, to Dieppe and then on to Paris. The team, cycled through towns, villages and beautiful countryside, on both sides of the Channel, along a mixture of on road and traffic free cycle trails along river paths and disused former railway lines, up hills and down dales. None of those taking part were experienced cyclists, many never having cycled more than a few miles, before any training started 6 months earlier. However, what they lacked in experience, they made up for in enthusiasm and with good luck, fair winds, few punctures (although one unlucky cyclist had 5 punctures in just one day) and a good physio, they arrived at the steps of Notre Dame just 5 days later on Sunday 24th August.

Several charities benefited from the event, including, The Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Cancer Research UK, Foundation for Liver Research and On Course Foundation providing long term benefits for injured service personnel and veterans through golf, and we would like to thank all those who sponsored our cyclists in this fantastic achievement and worthy causes.

After over 50 years of operation from our MABO House offices and Hicks Road Factory, we are delighted to announce our relocation in March 2014 to a brand new purpose built unit at 1-2 Sharose Court. Whilst we have only moved a short distance of some 200 yards, this represents a tremendous move forward for our organisation.

For the first time since the 1960s our offices and production operation share the same premises. This new facility of some 570 sq metres has been designed to our precise specification and we have taken the opportunity to install new modern IT and communication equipment as well as new crainage and plant such as the Target DV-1722 CNC Machining Centre.

Markyate Precision Machining are pleased to announce that our ISO 9001: 2008 accreditation was again successfully audited by British Standards Institute in February 2014.

We have now held the accreditation since 1999 and it continues to be at the very heart of our operation. The ISO 9001:2008 accreditation is a demonstration to our Clients of our commitment not only to achieving the highest standards of service performance but also to the process of continual improvement to ensure we remain at the very top of our profession.

We are extremely proud of this accreditation and would like to thank our staff for their hard work and commitment to the processes and to our accredited suppliers for their adherence to the standards that we demand.
