Precision injection moulding, machining and tooling specialist ComplexaHPE is reporting a record order book following more than £2m of investment in advanced manufacturing technology and a strategic focus on supplier collaboration, including a close partnership with Erodex UK.

Formed in 2021 through the merger of ComplexaTools and High Precision Engineering (HPE), the business provides a full turnkey service spanning toolmaking, precision machining and injection moulding. The strategy is delivering results, with new contracts secured in the UK, Ireland and overseas, particularly within high-end medical manufacturing.

Group managing director Paul McHugh attributes the growth to sustained investment and integrated capability: “Customers increasingly want a complete solution, from design for manufacture through to final sign-off, including end-of-arm tooling and inspection fixtures. That reduces lead times and ensures consistent quality.

Since 2021, the company has installed high-speed milling machines, five-axis machining centres, spark and wire EDM systems, and a Mazak Millturn, alongside robotics and palletisation to support lights-out production. However, McHugh emphasises that machinery alone is not enough.

“Maximising performance is critical, and that’s where Erodex has added real value,” he says.

Following a review of EDM processes, Erodex recommended POCO EDM graphite grades to optimise electrode performance and consistency. In automated, unattended environments, predictable material behaviour is essential. The result has been improved machinability, longer electrode life, reduced cycle times and enhanced surface finishes.

With nearly 24 months of work secured, ComplexaHPE is experiencing unprecedented demand.

“Our success is built on quality, technical expertise and strong supplier partnerships,” concludes McHugh. “Working closely with Erodex has helped us raise standards and strengthen our competitive position in precision manufacturing.”
