At ATL Precision Engineering, we invest in the latest technology to ensure our customers receive unrivalled precision and flexibility. Our Gateshead and Hebburn sites are equipped with advanced CNC sliding head machines that allow us to produce components as small as 0.5mm in diameter, and drill a​s fine as 0.4mm holes. Operating 24/7 with lights-out manufacturing, we drive efficiency and consistency while delivering superior results at scale.With continual investment in new tooling and the adoption of digital manufacturing solutions, our team pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in complex part manufacture. We’ve recently added rapid prototyping using the latest 3D printers, so customers can quickly bring concepts to life and accelerate development cycles.
Our production floor features industry-leading multi-axis CNC Swiss-type automatic lathes, including the renowned Star SR-20J and SR-32J, capable of high-speed bar work and intricate operations on both main and sub-spindles. These precision machines feature multiple, independently powered tooling positions, deep hole drilling spindles, and high-capacity bar feeds—ensuring that we can handle both small and large batch requirements with exceptional speed and reliability.We demand high performance both from our equipment and our workforce. The combination of state-of-the-art machinery and ATL’s skilled engineering team empowers us to deliver safety-critical components—and maintain rigorous quality standards, as evidenced by our BSI accreditation for ISO 9001 in Quality Management.
Innovation is at the core of ATL’s philosophy. Our experienced team partners with clients from prototyping through to full production, offering advice on best practices and material selections to ensure optimal outcomes. We are proud to have recently introduced laser engraving and part marking, allowing components to be permanently identified or branded directly on-site—adding value and traceability for our clients.Beyond traditional machining, ATL also manufactures custom press tools and jigs, manages complex assemblies, and organises finishing services such as heat treatment, plating, and painting through trusted partners. Our customer-focused culture and continuous adaptation to new technologies mean ATL Precision Engineering will always deliver solutions tailored to your evolving needs.
We are excited to announce the introduction of laser engraving and precision part marking to our suite of services, giving you the option to brand or identify parts with clear, permanent marks and logos. Our capabilities extend even further with project-managed assemblies, and trusted partnerships for everything from heat treatment to plating and painting. We also handle procurement of standard parts and raw materials for major clients, delivering a truly comprehensive service.
