Dromafield Engineering Boosts Capability with New CNC Machine


Friday 9 January 2026, 11:47:23 AM


Dromafield Engineering, a leading precision subcontract specialist, recently enhanced its manufacturing capabilities through the acquisition of a DN Solutions’ high-performance vertical machining center. This procurement was facilitated by Mills CNC’s updated ‘SMART OPTIONS’ machine tool rental scheme.

The machine, which arrived at Dromafield’s facility in June 2025, has swiftly demonstrated its value. Intended to expand the company’s in-house milling capacity, the new addition proved essential when an older machining center experienced a spindle breakdown, temporarily halting operations. The timely installation provided an uninterrupted continuation of services, ensuring that production targets were met despite the unforeseen equipment failure.

Mills CNC’s ‘SMART OPTIONS’ rental scheme allows manufacturers to upgrade their machinery with minimal financial risk. This innovative approach provides flexible access to state-of-the-art technology, appealing to companies like Dromafield Engineering eager to stay competitive in a challenging industry landscape.

Dromafield Engineering’s decision underscores the strategic importance of investment in advanced machinery to maintain operational efficiency and respond effectively to equipment failures. The company’s swift action highlights its commitment to maintaining production standards and delivering precision-engineered components to its clientele.

Mills CNC’s continued focus on accessibility and innovation in machine tool distribution has cemented its reputation as a key player in the manufacturing sector, supporting firms across the United Kingdom with cutting-edge solutions.
