Company History
We knew from inception that our focus had to be achieving an exceptionally high quality of work to stand out in the commercially competitive environment of precision engineering. To reach such high standards Q-Mass needed to employ people, machinery and business processes capable of setting and continually improving these standards. The team that has been built and honed over the last 20 years has been key to our continued success and is something that Q-Mass continues to mould today. Customers have the confidence to place orders for the most complex of parts that the industry requires, knowing that they will be delivered correctly. The substantial investments Q-Mass has made in machinery and equipment have ensured that we have rapidly become one of the most capable precision machine shops in the industry. With multiple Mazak 5-axis turning centres, a TBT 5-axis deep hole drilling (Gun drilling) centre, 2 and 3 axis turning centres and EDM machines, most jobs can be tackled whether it is for one off prototypes or larger production runs. Our VAM license that we qualified for in 2014 has enabled the VAM services we can offer to our valued customers.
