Accelerating success: How Penta delivered precision motorsport components in record time

Added by
at Penta Precision

A UK motorsport manufacturer turned to Penta Precision when project deadlines tightened and supplier reliability was critical. Our aluminium and plastic machining expertise ensured parts were delivered to exact specification—in just 5 days.

Background

On 3rd January, we received an urgent enquiry from a motorsport customer for two-off quantities of three different parts. The initial requirement allowed for a 20-working-day turnaround.

The Challenge

Just days later, the project restraints changed. The customer now needed all parts in 7 days, leaving no margin for error. Previous suppliers had already let them down with late deliveries and poor quality, so confidence and reliability were essential.

Our Response

  • Same-day quoting – We assessed the drawings and issued a full quotation the very day the enquiry was received.
  • Close collaboration – By discussing the application directly with the customer, we ensured we understood the requirements in full.
  • Material expertise – Leveraging our knowledge in aluminium and plastic machining, we identified the most effective way to achieve precision and repeatability.
  • The Penta Solution

    Production began immediately, and all components were completed and delivered within just 5 days—faster than the revised deadline. The customer was delighted with both the speed and the quality of the parts, and has since continued to place further orders with Penta.
