The company, headed by Managing Director Phil Harrison, has responded by not only doubling the size of its Leicester based facility to make itself more efficient, but also by investing in new machine tools - a Sodick AG60L high speed EDM die sinker with a 16 station auto electrode (tool) changer, and a Hurco VMX42i vertical machining centre that features an Ethernet link to CGP’s VISI CadCam software, a mainstay of the company for over 15 years.
