Heavy Lifting, Fine Tuning and a Fresh Coat of Paint

We pride ourselves on building lasting, collaborative partnerships with our clients, at ALT CNC Machine Tool Services Ltd. And with Nasmyth, we’ve had the pleasure of working alongside them for many years, providing ongoing support for their machining operations. 

Following Nasmyth’s recent acquisition by Sigma, we were called upon to facilitate a major operational transition. The move required a turnkey solution to make sure their production capabilities were transferred safely to a new facility.

The Project Scope

Moving industrial machinery is no small feat, and it requires meticulous planning. Our technical expertise and absolute commitment to minimising downtime means our engineering team managed the end-to-end relocation of several key machines from an off-site location, effortlessly. 

Our responsibilities were:

  • Decommissioning - securely powering down, and preparing the complex CNC machinery for transit.

  • Relocation - managing the heavy lifting, and logistical challenges, of transporting the equipment from the previous site to the new one.

  • Recommissioning - Re-installing, aligning, and rigorously testing the machines in the new environment to guarantee they were running at peak precision, and efficiency from day one.

  • Painting - To give the equipment a fresh lease of life in its new home, we provided a complete repainting service.

It’s always rewarding to support long-standing clients through periods of growth and corporate change. We are thrilled to have delivered this seamless transition for the team at Nasmyth and Sigma, keeping their production lines set up for continued success.
