Nasmyth Invests in Surface Treatment

Nasmyth Group (Coventry, UK) a leading supplier of precision engineering, products and services worldwide, is making a multi-million dollar investment in their surface treatment businesses. Between them, GEB Surface Treatments Ltd, MPS Ltd, West Middlesex Surface Treatments Ltd and Towerfield Plating Ltd, all based in the UK, and Nasmyth TMF Inc. (Burbank, CA), provide an extensive range of advanced aerospace and Nadcap-approved services.

An expansion project at GEB Surface Treatments that will double the size of its buildings and facilities is nearly complete and at West Middlesex work is about to start on a development project which is scheduled for completion in December. A significant investment has also been made in the Towerfield Plating site to enhance its process offering.

In California, the recently integrated Nasmyth TMF has already expanded into newly acquired premises providing three times the previous space and has introduced a number of new processes and production lines. A further investment has been made in automated hard anodising controllers and rectifiers that enable a level of accuracy over anodizing thicknesses that puts them further ahead of their competition.

“Surface treatment represents a key area of growth for us as a result of increasing demand for our range of specialist services,” commented Peter Smith, the chairman and chief executive officer of Nasmyth Group. “The investments we are making will increase our global surface finishing production floor space by over 50 percent and help to ensure that we continue to maintain our competitive edge by delivering the very best solutions for our customers.”
