Better Than On YouTube

Day one of MACH 2012 proved extremely fruitful for Tornos UK with the sale of a Tornos Gamma 20/6B sliding head turning centre to Hi-Spec Precision Engineering Ltd. The most unbelievable aspect of the acquisition is that the Director and decision maker at Hi-Spec, Mr Darren Grainger had only previously seen footage of the Gamma on video streaming website YouTube.

The Rutland based manufacturer was in the market for a sliding head turning centre and had previously reviewed alternate machines. However, the guide bushless operation, large working envelope, in-built High Pressure Coolant and user friendly platform were major factors in the purchase. As a manufacturer of hydraulic valve and cylinder components in batches from 1000 to 3000, the Tornos Gamma was an ideal match for Hi-Spec.

Hi-Spec Precision engineering's Mr Grainger comments: "We are delighted with the new Tornos. It has the possibility of 39 tools with 15 driven and this will enable us to increase our capabilities and capacity. This increased tooling configuration will allow us to offer our customers improved capability whilst giving us scope to venture into new markets."


Taking on the services of Pulse-PR to form a strategy and structure to our marketing campaigns has been a
revelation to our business. It has improved our exposure, brand image and helped increase our lead generation.
