TM Specialist Engineers, a market leader in the field of sub-contract heavy steel fabrication and large part precision machining, has appointed MSC to help it reduce its consumable spend.

Having previously known MSC as a tooling supplier, TM Engineers is now benefitting from the unrivalled expertise of our application engineering team which is helping it become more efficient and profitable. This includes analysing its processes in order to implement optimum production strategies and providing CNC programming support to help convert engineering drawings into CNC code.

Established in 1948, TM Engineers has one of the UK’s largest fabrication and machining facilities producing highly bespoke, heavy steel fabricated and machined parts for many sectors within manufacturing and engineering including nuclear, marine, sub-sea gas and oil, military and automotive.

Andrew Garton, operations director at TM Engineers, said: “The MSC team is opening our eyes to a better way of working by providing strategic production advice and helping us drive down our consumable spend. Unless you have someone like MSC come into your business and advise you on the modern technologies that are available, that do the same job but better, more efficiently and give you superior finishes, all while improving your process time – Unless someone tells you that this exists, you’re not to know.

“We are discovering MSC to be far more than a catalogue supplier and look forward to seeing how much more efficient we will become over the coming months.”

Dave Darby, managing director at MSC, added: “This is another great example of the MSC team being a true partner to its customers, transforming the way they operate and helping them realise cost savings and generate more capacity so they can take on additional work and become more profitable.”
