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.

If you outsource CNC machining, you are probably seeing component prices rise. For buyers that are focussed on getting best value for money, an environment where prices are rocketing can make your job very hard indeed.
Plastics can be harder to machine than metals: they can be less forgiving. Machining plastics requires specialist expertise – the kind that comes only with years of experience. But that's just half the battle. Not every plastics machining specialist has the experience needed to meet the stringent requirements of medical equipment OEMs. Choosing the right machining partner for medical applications is vital to ensure quality, consistency, validated processes and traceability of materials.
