We bought our first 5-axis CNC machine in 2009, and have since added two more to the plant list, as well as investing in a 5-metre 3D scanning arm for inspection and reverse engineering.

Simpsons has continued to invest in new technology; from machines to software, but most importantly and in line with our company ethos… people. With in-house and apprentice training, we have advanced our skills in design, manufacturing and turn-key project management which has helped the company to attract new customers and increasingly exciting projects for the team to apply their skills.
