With immediate effect, WH-Lead takes over the sales and service of Leadwell’s range of turning centres and vertical machining centres. Seamless continuity of supply in the UK is assured, as Mike Heapy and Brendan Parrott from the previous agent, Lead Precision Machine Tools, have joined the new organisation. They bring with them 30 years' experience of the Taiwanese manufacturer and its products.
A representative selection of Leadwell machines will be available for demonstration in the new Towcester facility from May this year. Other machine models are available on short delivery from stock held in Europe and Taiwan. All can be supplied with either a Fanuc or Siemens control.
In related news, Leadwell has announced that in its 40th anniversary year, the company has moved to a 43,500 m2 purpose-built factory in Taichung, with capacity for building 100 machines per month. Production is split evenly between lathes and machining centres, which are sold worldwide by a network of 45 dealers. Approximately one-third of production is exported to Europe.
