Ready for the next generation
November 2019

Warwick based Newbury Commercial Glazing upgraded to a 12 axis Quadra L1 fully automatic cutting and machining centre from Emmegi four years to the day after it took delivery of a Precision TS2 saw and Phantomatic X4 machining centre.

The Quadra L1 can cut, machine and transom notch in one operation and can machine profiles continuously in 360° without the need to reposition the bar. It automatically adjusts for different profile sizes and even different systems, so is ideal for companies who fabricate in more than one aluminium system.

Newbury managing director Rod Newbury says that it represents a key element in his plan to future proof his business before he retires and hands over the reins to his son Oliver: “The Quadra L1 provides a springboard from which Oliver and the team can take Newbury to the next level. It vastly increases our capacity, but much more importantly, it also increases our productivity.

“We’ve already more than doubled turnover since we bought the original Emmegi machines and now the Quadra L1 gives us the opportunity to increase that still further, without compromising on margins or competitiveness.

Four years ago, when Newbury started its machinery investment it was focused largely in the education sector but, with more advanced manufacturing and a more experienced team, it is also now winning an increasing amount of business in the broader commercial market.

Rod concluded: “We have no ambitions to be the biggest fabricator in the UK but we are determined to be amongst the best, with highly efficient manufacturing and experienced, knowledgeable customer service.”
