“It took us five weeks to do 350 components. With this new Priminer with the trunnion, 500 components in fourteen days!”

That comes from James Davies of Wilbest Engineering Company Ltd, after investing in a Priminer VF1100 supplied by MEC Machine Tools. As Lee Adamson of MEC Machine explains, the Priminer delivers standout price-to-performance and “German design, German quality produced in China to give them ultimate performance.”

The result is fewer setups, faster cycle times, and a machine that helps Wilbest compete more effectively across rail, oil & gas, and high-spec subcontract work.
