At Wilco we manufacture precision turned parts on a sub-contract basis, running a large number of CNC and Conventional bar turning machines from a refurbished factory in the heart of the industrial midlands.
Over the years the company has steadily developed to become a complete source for your precision turned parts by avoiding specialisation and maintaining a wide variety of machine types, technologies and materials. By offering free positive stock holding, coupled with improvements in operational activities we are able to deliver your turned parts to schedule and in the most cost effective way.

Cost
Wilco have consistently remained competitive due to the policy of maintaining a wide variety of machinery types. This ensures that your turned part component is manufactured on the right machine for the job to suit its level of complexity and volume. By carefully assessing your component for manufacture at the quotation stage and taking time to calculate an accurate cycle time, you will be sure to receive the most competitive price for your turned part without having to buy it from the other side of the world!
Quality
Some of the latest measurement technologies available, such as the Tesa Scan 50 profile measuring machine, are employed alongside more conventional projectors, CMM and gauges to check your components during the machining cycle.
Advanced quality planning techniques are used to establish control plans for all your jobs progressing through the factory and ensures that PPAP packs can be meaningfully produced as supporting documentation where required.
Every time your turned part is set up for manufacture, an ISR (initial sample report) is independently produced to ensure that your component criteria are being met and samples retained during the life of the manufacturing time. Ongoing regular recorded checks by both production and quality staff during the machining process help to ensure that you get exactly what you want and SPC can be applied, if required, for either capability checks or ongoing production control for critical items and features.
Delivery
Ensuring on time delivery to our customers has evolved a number of strategies to cope with variable demand and volume from a range of industry types.
Wilco maintain a free of charge positive stock holding policy, which ensures that you can receive repeat parts even at late notice. The installation of a short order section to specifically manufacture small volumes, removes the impact of small volumes from the main operations and allows us to manufacture parts quickly. The investments that have been made in high technology, quick setup machines also contribute to the speed in which we can get finished parts to your facility.
