SMP Invests In Additional Machining Capability

SMP has recently made an investment in two new Tuscan Heavy Duty Lathes.

We can now machine workpieces up to 8 meters between centers and 9 meters through the spindle, while handling materials with a diameter of up to 950 mm.

As the demand for our extensive range of products continues to grow, the new Tuscan Lathes will enable us to achieve faster cycle times through high-speed machining. This upgrade will enhance our capacity, provide higher precision in machining, and increase the durability of our equipment

Gill Furniss MP Visits Special Melted Products

Last week SMP had the privilege of welcoming Gill Furniss MP for Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough to our Sheffield manufacturing facility. Discussions took place on how SMP, backed by its owners Walsin and Cogne Acciai Speciali can collaborate with the UK Government to generate new jobs and wealth in the South Yorkshire area, aligning with the new UK Steel Strategy.

As our local MP, Gill was informed about the ambitious and transformational Project Vulcan, which aims to build the UK’s first 10,000T Superalloy forging press in support of aerospace, defence, and civil nuclear applications which SMP heavily participates in, especially within the Rolls-Royce supply chain.

Born and bred in Sheffield, Gill’s father was a steel worker and as the former Shadow Minister for Steel, Postal Affairs and Consumer Protection, it is fair to say that this is an industry that is close to Gill’s heart and she enjoyed a tour of the facility with Andy Richardson CEO.
