A leading machine tool manufacturers in the machining sector based in Redditch
The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) in Rotherham has significantly upgraded its machining capabilities with the installation in early May 2025 of a technologically advanced Heller F6000 five-axis horizontal machining centre. It is situated within the centre's Advanced Manufacturing Park, the hub for the organisation’s subtractive machining activities.
As an industrial research and development organisation, on behalf of its extensive membership the AMRC strategically benchmarks the machine tool market to identify the most effective production equipment and techniques for different applications. Currently, over several sites it operates more than 60 CNC machine tools, with approximately half a dozen being horizontal-spindle prismatic machining platforms.
The installation of the Heller machine bolsters the centre's ongoing efforts to secure high-value jobs within the manufacturing sector in the UK, a crucial aspect of its remit for obtaining grant funding. Many of those jobs are in the aerospace industry. An important facet of the Heller acquisition will therefore be to transfer the machine brand's renown for high reliability, availability and uptime for volume production in the automotive sector to aerospace applications.
