A specialist in stamping, plating and the assembly of high-precision parts is celebrating its 50th birthday in style after announcing a new £400,000 investment. Batten & Allen, which employs 120 people at its factory in Cirencester, signed a deal at MACH 2022 earlier this month to purchase a new Bruderer high-speed press that can produce six million components every day.

The company signalled its intentions to use the 28-tonne BSTA 280-75B2 to stamp precision parts for use in electrical applications across the automotive, aerospace and consumer goods sectors. Fitted with a high-precision mechanical feeder, the machine offers a 750 mm bed to accommodate complex press tools. Says Batten & Allen CEO Ian Mackinnon: “Bruderer presses are known throughout industry for their precise control and repeatable accuracy; two of the reasons why this machine will be our 30th from them.”
