Networked CNC - New system improves company's competitiveness and helps to counter overseas competition

摘要

Wolverhampton-based Marquin Engineering is now run by the second generation of the Spencer family; and while mother and father are still involved on a part-time basis, brothers George and Edward are now joint managing directors, The brothers bought into the business in 1989 and, despite market fluctuations, they have adopted what has turned out to be a very successful 'invest to progress' policy, which has resulted in an influx of advanced CNC machine tools and an increase in the company's competitiveness when compared with other suppliers.
