The Die Casting, Machining And Finishing Specialists
MRT Castings (UK)
MRT Castings Ltd was incorporated in 1947, they has specialized in the manufacture of high-quality aluminum and zinc die castings. To support high levels of demand and our continual drive to employ the latest machine tool technology, MRT Castings Ltd have purchased a new Brother R650X2 Twin Pallet CNC Machining center. The first Brother SPEEDIO R650X2 machining center to be installed in Europe.
Regular meetings serve to advise the manufacturer about the UK manufacturing sector and what the market requires. For example, increased X-axis capacity is a standard request from MRT, as evidenced by the company’s involvement in the development and introduction of the Brother SPEEDIO S1000X1 with one-metre X-axis.
Mr. Rawnson observed, “Brother’s willingness to consult with its customers is a good sign, as it means it is listening to what the market wants.
He concluded, “MRT Castings has been a family run business since its formation in 1947 and has always worked in partnership with its customers, constantly evolving to meet their demands. “Brother has adopted a similar partnership approach by listening to what we and other subcontractors want and developing new machines to fit our changing requirements.”
