Unveiling cutting-edge capability at Rosyth

Our Chair, Dame Ruth Cairnie, recently unveiled the latest investment at our state-of-the-art Rosyth manufacturing facility, in the form of a 5M vertical Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) 7 axis milling machine.

This cutting-edge £5 million investment enables the precise machining of large complex submarine components for the Missile Tube Assembly Programme.

Director of Operations at Rosyth, Joe Doogan, said: “This machine is the latest in a range of investments that we’ve made at our Rosyth site, increasing our capacity to meet ongoing customer demand for large-scale complex machining.

“This is the first time we have combined a vertical milling machine with a 6M turntable, which will significantly enhance machining capability as well as provide resilience for programmes.”

Working alongside our customers to provide smart answers by combining the latest technology with a practical mindset, this latest investment demonstrates our ongoing dedication to delivering the capability they need, both now and in the future.
