Precision engineering company required

[flatpopely]

Hello everyone.

We are now actively looking to get an engineering company on board that can produce small (initially) batches of the RubiKon.

Does anyone on here own such a company or know of one that they could recommend.

Thanks.

(Oh and no recommendations for Castle Engineering in Scotland before some wag does so )

Might be more towards the true 'precision' side than you need.

There's alwasy Avid, they sub contract.

Do you know university lab technician or engineering, product design students? They have access to millions of quids worth of gear for nowt. I know you are launching a professional product but for initial production numbers it can be useful.

Thats a good idea, I'll have a think.

Another one (in Edinburgh) that it's at least worth asking the question of. They do a lot of short-run stuff but may be expensive

A spin off from my current employer when we were known as Ferranti -- AMT remain one of our preferred suppliers along with Castle and a few others who I can't remember off the top of my head

I had contacts in Switzerland who made the equipment for the engineering companies, which meant they got their trainees to turn out product as part of their training programme - if you have a limited run of x items in mind I can potentially work a deal for you, but you'd need to factor in shipping costs too.

Hi Richard.

Thanks for this but I want it to be UK based for logistical reasons moving forward.

Thanks.

Andrew.
