Precision engineering company A&M EDM welcomed Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, to commission a new CNC machining centre funded by a UK Government grant to accelerate growth at manufacturing SMEs. The investment in a three-axis Hurco machining centre increases A&M’s capabilities to produce complex Inconel parts for aerospace customers. From a two man start-up in 2002, the company has grown to a current workforce of 84 and sales over £8m. Since 2014, A&M EDM has trained 23 apprentices, with eight apprentices currently on the books.
