We are Sputnik Precision Engineering

The world class engineering manufacture company with an experience of 33 years

History

The business was started up in 1987 by its present owner and initially it involved the making of small turned metal parts in very small batches using conventional lathes, for use in compressed air & hydraulics. At this time, tooling like small press tools, moulds and jigs were individually designed and manufactured for customers.

Development & Investment

In 1995, the business invested in its first CNC machine.  It was an interact 1 Bridgeport Milling machine with ISO 30 taper hand changed tooling and Heidenhain Controls. From then onwards, the company acquired various CNC machining and turning center.
