Nestled in the foothills of Snowdon, Vixen CNC is producing precision mountaineering parts – carabiners, pulleys, and more – and growing fast with CMZ machines at the heart of it all.

Alison Green of MTDCNC visits the facility with Lee Rodgers of CMZ UK to see how gantry automation, bar feeds, and lights-out production are driving serious output from a shop floor that’s bigger than it looks. Small footprint machines, big punch, and a very bright future ahead!
