RK International signs agreement with MCM

RK International Machine Tools has announced a new partnership covering the UK and Ireland with Italy-based MCM (Machining Center Manufacturing) a specialist in the production of high accuracy 4- and 5-axis machining centres.

The machines can also be combined to create flexible machining cells, completely provided by MCM, with a strong focus on the aerospace sector. The partnership was officially unveiled at the upcoming Farnborough International Airshow on 16-22 July (Hall 1, stand 1540).

Simon Rood, director and general manager at RK International commented: “The opportunity to work with MCM comes at an exciting time with strong growth in the aerospace sector within the UK and Ireland. MCM already has an enviable reputation across mainland Europe and beyond, with installations in many of the leading aerospace OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

“Their ability to provide a full turnkey solution for a customer’s requirements customising the system to their specific needs is also a major benefit in ensuring the right solution is delivered every time. Farnborough will be the ideal launchpad for this new relationship between RK and MCM, allowing us to bring the potential gains that can be made in applying MCM’s manufacturing technology to the attention of the aerospace community.”

MCM was founded in 1978 in Piacenza, Italy, and has developed markets globally in the aerospace, automotive, industrial, energy, oil and gas and defence sectors. The machining centres it produces are highly rigid constructions that operate to accuracies of 4-5µm with excellent dynamics to create performance-orientated technical solutions for customers.

The machines range from the 800mm cube of the Clock machine family to over 6,000mm of the Jet Five machine series. Over 70% of the machines it manufactures end up in flexible manufacturing cells, with MCM being the single point of contact for customers throughout the manufacture and integration process.

Stefano Tirelli, sales manager at MCM added: “We are very excited to enter this new partnership with RK International Machine Tools as we see good potential for our machines and systems within the UK, especially in the aerospace market. The expertise and experience with RK will complement our skills and knowledge perfectly.”
