  Company history
 
 

With a history dating back to the 1970s, we've gained a lot of experience in the centreless grinding field over a wide range of makes and models of machine and end user applications. With this experience has come an enviable reputation as being the premier rebuilder of centreless grinding machines globally. Although we have made great strides over the last 30 years, our philosophy of continual improvement will ensure we keep developing well into the future.
