Northumbria Engineering

Northumbria Engineering combines conventional subcontract machining with work that starts from an existing part or an engineering problem rather than a finished drawing. Its Blyth plant covers CNC turning from roughly 2 to 400 mm, 3- and 4-axis milling, a Star SR-20RIV 7-axis sliding-head machine and surface grinding. Laser scanning and SolidWorks support reverse engineering, while the company also produces special-purpose jigs, hotplates and test equipment. That makes it useful for both repeat components and difficult replacement or development work.
