Then there were six

Garrard Windows has added a sixth EMMEGI machining centre to its aluminium fabrication set up.

The company now has three of the manufacturer’s T3A three axis machines in its Pitstone factory, alongside three of its Phantomatic M3 four axis models and two Itaca Solution NC controlled crimpers.

Garrard joint managing director Steve Leek said that partnering with one supplier on machining centres has helped the company to achieve consistency and reliability right across its aluminium range, and added: “We started out with a machining centre from a different supplier, which proved too slow for our needs and not very user-friendly, so, when our rental agreement on that came to an end, we bought a T3A from Emmegi instead and haven’t looked back since.

Garrard Windows largely uses the Emmegi machining centres for the hinge and lock preparation on its range of aluminium windows, doors and bi-folds in the Smarts and Liniar Aluminia systems. They are split between the company’s two adjacent 43,000 sq ft factory spaces, one of which is dedicated to aluminium and one to PVC-U.
