We're excited to announce that we have nearly completed a major investment in our Machining Division at WEC Group!

We’ve purchased two Correa FOX M gantry milling machines (12.5 m × 5 m × 3 m capacity) and two Axia machines 13 m × 1.75 m × 3 m) from Nicolás Correa. This will expand our current capacity of this type from two to six machines delivering outstanding performance for large, complex components offering over 48,000 spindle hours available per year:

🔹High 5 axis roughing capacity combined with excellent finishing
🔹Superior thermal stability for consistent accuracy
🔹Large working envelopes and high load capacity
🔹Exceptional rigidity and damping for demanding materials and long cycle times

This investment significantly strengthens our Machining Division’s ability to handle bigger, more complex work with greater precision, supporting our customers in military, aerospace, nuclear, defence, oil & gas, rail and heavy engineering.

Based in Lancashire, WEC Group continues to invest in world-class technology to stay at the forefront of UK contract manufacturing.
