From flat sheet to final assembly, LNS UK’s Barnsley facility is a powerhouse of precision engineering.

In this episode of the MTDCNC podcast, Rowan Easter-Robinson takes you inside a working factory where over 200 bespoke swarf conveyors are produced each month — not in the Far East, but proudly in Yorkshire.

Tim Hardcastle of LNS shares why UK-made matters, how LNS is serving OEMs and end users across Europe, and how smart in-house design and quality control are helping this facility stay ahead in a competitive global market.

Listen in to hear how they’re blending tradition with tech, solving coolant and chip management challenges, and why a Yorkshire Rose might be hiding on your next conveyor.
