We thought we would share some pictures of our recent expansion here at Field Engineering.

Around 12 months ago we purchased the unit next door and begin renovating from top to bottom! You can see a fair amount has changed.

We are now fully up and running and have managed to nearly double our floor space and with the addition of a new Doosan Fanuc CNC Lathe and a Hurco CNC Mill to start us off we have increased our capacity too.

We also took on the mighty task of re-organising our old factory so we will upload some pictures of that in the coming days.

As well as new machines we now have a much larger inspection department and dedicated packing bay to increase efficiency at the end of the line so hopefully our customers will be seeing this benefit in there lead times for years to come.
