In its latest £30,000 investment, Christchurch-based Groveley has installed a new five-axis machining centre and an 8-axis turning centre.
And it will shortly recruit an additional machine programmer.
Around £40,000 of the cost came in the form of a grant for energy-efficient machinery from Business Link’s IYRE scheme.
The machinery was so large that Groveley needed to fit larger access doors and lay a new floor to take the extra weight.
Managing director Peter Bennet said: “SC21 has helped us increase our competitiveness by raising quality and speed of job turnaround for all our customers in their various industry sectors.
“The aerospace industry has said it will increase by seven per cent each year for the next 15 years and we aim to win our share of that work.”
