Precision Engineering for Critical Industries
WEC Machining delivers high-quality subcontract precision engineering & heavy engineering services for customers requiring accuracy, repeatability and reliable delivery. From one-off prototypes to repeat batch production, we manufacture components to customer drawings and specifications.
Our machining capability supports a wide range of component sizes, materials and industries, from small precision-turned parts through to large fabricated assemblies requiring final machining. By combining advanced CNC machining capacity, heavy engineering capability, material expertise and quality-led manufacturing, we provide a complete service from one UK-based group.
We help customers across Aerospace, Defence, reduce supplier complexity through machining, fabrication, cutting, coded welding, finishing, painting, assembly, kitting and delivery support from one integrated manufacturing partner.
Our Machining Capabilities
WEC Machining offers one of the UK’s largest heavy machining capacities, supported by an extensive range of CNC milling, CNC turning, multi-axis mill/turn centres, and sliding head turning machines. Our 6 large CNC machining centres deliver 30,000 available spindle hours per year, providing significant capacity for both high-volume and complex machining requirements.
Our facility can handle components with a maximum envelope size of up to 12.5m x 5m x 3m on our Correa Fox M gantry and Correa Axia milling machines with large rotary tables. We also have CNC turning capacity up to 3845mm in length and 950mm in diameter. This allows us to support both large-scale heavy machining projects and precision production work across a wide range of component sizes.
Quality & CMM Inspection
At WEC Machining, we strive to provide defect free components to our customers, and we pride ourselves on our consistently high quality “right first time” performance. Quality is at the very heart of our operations and we have recently made substantial investments in the very latest metrology and CMM inspection equipment. WEC Group are accredited to ISO9001:2015, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, EN1090-2, EN3834, and EN15085 among many others. WEC Machining benefits from 90+ years experience servicing clients across critical industries such as Aerospace, Defence, Nuclear, Rail and Oil & Gas.

The History of WEC Machining
WEC Machining Ltd was established after WEC Group Ltd acquired Precision Engineers Ltd in December 2005, bringing machining in-house after previously subcontracting the service. The acquisition included 15,000 sq ft of manufacturing space, and the business rebranded as Hi-Spec CNC in 2007.
Its capabilities were further enhanced through the Rishton Machines/Hi-Spec Machinery division, now Clarendon by WEC, a long-established manufacturer of workshop equipment including presses, grinders and milling machines.
In 2010, WEC Group acquired Nutter Aircrafts Ltd, expanding its expertise in precision engineering and exotic materials. WEC Machining became a private company in 2017, operating from a 33,000 sq ft facility in Blackburn. In 2025, work began on a new 60,000 sq ft heavy machining and nuclear fabrication facility at Walker Park to support growth in the nuclear, defence and offshore sectors, with construction now nearing completion.
