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.
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.
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.
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.

When the economic backdrop is challenging, taking steps to secure your supply chain is one way to feel more in control. Director Mark Walker shares three top tips for securing your supply chain when sourcing CNC machined parts.

It can be a tricky balancing act to specify components in industries where there is a need for volume but also for safety, competition is high, or the market is commoditised. Designers and product development teams facing these challenges understand that precision machining tolerances must be detailed. And the datum must be precise. If they get any of this wrong, they risk compromising the product's fit, form and function.
