The alliance between NCMT Ltd and Safran Aircraft Engines continues to thrive as the companies celebrate a significant milestone. The partnership, which commenced in 2010 with the installation of a Makino G5 machine, has reached new heights at the Safran Corbeil plant in France.

The Corbeil facility stands as a critical hub within the Safran Group, playing a major role in high-precision aerospace manufacturing on a global scale. The introduction of the first Makino G5 at this key location marks an important achievement for both companies. This development underscores the strategic importance of the Corbeil site in supporting Safran’s aerospace ambitions.

This week, NCMT Ltd had the honour of hosting the full project team at their Coventry Technology Centre. This gathering emphasised the values of collaboration, technical alignment, and shared engineering standards that underpin their long-term partnership. The event also underscored the cultural and technical exchanges that have enriched their cooperation.

The Makino G5 machining centre is renowned for its precision engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities, which align closely with Safran’s objectives to advance in the aerospace sector. This development further cements Safran’s reputation for innovation and efficiency in high-precision manufacturing.

NCMT Ltd remains committed to supporting Safran with cutting-edge technology and expertise, enhancing the latter’s ability to maintain its leading position in the aerospace industry.
