When BCT Engineering Ltd opened its doors for business over 30 years ago, the Woking Company revved up its revenue from producing performance parts for motorcycles. Over the last three decades, this has evolved into the automotive, automation, offshore, aerospace and motorsport industries. With a concerted effort to speed-up productivity, the Surrey subcontractor has enlisted the support of Tamworth cutting tool specialists Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC).
Simply stating the impact ITC has had on the subcontract business, BCT Engineering Ltd Managing Director, Mr Tony Ryan says: “The help we’ve had from ITC has been invaluable.” Referring to a particular product that is being manufactured at the company, Mr Ryan continues: “We have one product that is part of a modern ‘touch-button’ domestic tap for boiled or chilled water and we were initially making the parts from plate material. However, we had problems that were down to both the type of material we were using and the machining methods we were applying. ITC came along, had a look at the way we were machining the parts and they changed the tools and the machining strategy. This has saved at least an hour on each component.”
