The Pentagon Plastics Group is delighted to announce that the specialist Tooling Division (Phoenix Engineering) has made a significant £150k investment into their on-site CNC Machining technology.

Two machining centres

Taking delivery of two machining centres comprising of a Mikron VCE800 Pro – 3 axis and a DMG DMU 50 Evo Linear – Full 5 axis machining centre. The new machining centres are an excellent addition and compliment to the existing CNC capabilities provided by the group.

The machining centres will continue to assist in driving down tooling lead times for our customers and will allow the group to further reduce sub-con services by enhancing our in-house process capabilities.

Not only investing in machinery, the group continues to look to grow its engineering team of skilled toolmakers and currently have vacancies for experienced CNC Machinists and Toolmakers.
