Astec Precision

Astec Precision is a high-volume turned-component specialist built around Citizen sliding-head technology. Its Ulverston plant machines components from about 0.2 mm to 42 mm diameter, covering anything from development quantities to production runs approaching one million pieces; the business says it manufactures roughly 6.5 million parts each year. That combination of small-diameter capability, repeat production and aerospace-grade quality systems makes Astec a strong fit where consistency across long-running turned-part programmes matters as much as unit cost. Its published manufacturing capability also lists CNC Machining, CNC Turning, and Swiss Machining, adding further detail to the processes available from the Ulverston operation.
