New agent for Ireland
29 April 2015
The buoyant electronics and medical industries in Ireland have prompted Rainford Precision, a leading UK supplier of micro machining solutions in both machine tool and cutting tool disciplines, to appoint Novatech Engineering as its distributor for Ireland.

Arthur Turner, Rainford Precision’s MD, says: "The market penetration of Rainford Precision in the UK and Ireland has exceeded expectations in recent years with the demand for high precision, micro machining solutions becoming increasingly prominent. Our ever growing product line of high quality milling, drilling, reaming, threading and machine tools has found a niche with manufacturers that demand 'true' micron precision.
"With a number of key market segments in Ireland demanding such technology, we have taken the step to work with a prestigious and highly regarded agent such as Novatech Engineering. We have supplied engineering solutions to Ireland since 1991 and this step will enable us to explore new markets and generate new business whilst also improving our technical service and support to existing customers in the region."
Novatech Engineering is already well respected in Ireland for delivering machining solutions such as milling, turning and mill/turn centres, spindle tooling, cutting tools, precision workholding, inspection gauges and much more. With Novatech's existing customer base in Ireland, Rainford Precision is confident that the working relationship will rapidly develop to provide productivity and precision benefits to the marketplace whilst enhancing the technical support network.
Proprietor of Novatech Engineering, Gerry McCready says: "We are well established throughout Ireland with our products that include machine tools from Index, Traub, Hermle SHW and Zimmerman as well as cutting tools from Mikron, InovaTools, and Heule to name a few. By adding the Rainford line-up of high precision micro tools to our armoury, we will no doubt be able to better service the demands of our customer base. We are relishing the opportunity to present the Rainford product lines to our customer base."
