Product: Engine Crankcases

Rough and semi-finish machining of a range of V12 and V16 crankcases. Castings are shipped directly from foundry to Newburgh and then on to the customer

Investment: £1.2m

Newburgh has invested in the region of £1m in setting up a bespoke facility for manufacture
of these parts. Purchases include 2off identical CNC machining centres, with a capacity of
8 metres x 2 metres with twin auto indexing tables allowing for pendulum loading and multi-machine manning.

Contract:

Contract value is over £2m and is for a fixed number of parts. Contract duration will vary according to customer delivery requirements.

History:

Newburgh has a long history of supplying Cummins with various parts. Cummins had a need to increase the capacity of their factory and identified the early machining operations as being suitable for sub-contracting. They went out to tender for what they called debarking machining. We proposed the setting up of a bespoke production cell as being the most cost-effective solution. Newburgh presented their proposal, including a detailed cost model for the cell and details of the machinery. A long-term contract was agreed which justified out investment and gave our customer guaranteed security of supply. The cell is now fully operational and quality and delivery are exceptional.
