Rotherham-based contract manufacturing specialist MTL Advanced has invested £2m in new capital equipment to meet the demands of a series of new high-profile contract wins for the defence and construction industries. MTL’s new investments centre on various manufacturing cells of the business, including large-format laser cutting, large folding and CNC machining to provide a much-needed capacity increase in line with the company’s growing order book. The centrepiece of the investment is a new 10 kW Trumpf TruLaser 3060 fibre laser, while another new machine is a 4.5 m wide x 640 tonne Ursviken press brake.
