“The opportunity to work with MCM comes at an exciting time, with strong growth in the aerospace sector across the UK and Ireland,” says Simon Rood, director and general manager at RK. “MCM already has installations at many leading aerospace OEMs and tier-one suppliers in mainland Europe and beyond. Their ability to provide a full turnkey solution to specific customer requirements is also a major benefit. Farnborough will be the ideal launchpad for this new relationship, allowing us to bring to the attention of the aerospace community the potential gains that can be made in applying MCM’s manufacturing technology.”
MCM was founded in 1978, in Piacenza, Italy, and has developed markets globally in the aerospace, automotive, industrial, energy and defence sectors. The company’s machining centres are rigid constructions that operate to accuracies of 4-5 micron, with high dynamics, to create performance-oriented solutions. Machines range from the 800 mm3 capacity of the ‘Clock’ range, to over 6,000 mm of the ‘Jet Five’ series. More than 70% of the machines manufactured end up in flexible manufacturing cells, with MCM being the single point of contact for customers throughout the manufacturing and integration process.
“We are very excited to enter this new partnership with RK International as we see good potential for our machines and systems within the UK, especially in the aerospace market,” states Stefano Tirelli, sales manager at MCM.
