TM Specialist Engineers turns to MSC to drive down consumable spend

Kingswinford, West Midlands-based TM Specialist Engineers, a leading company in the field of subcontract heavy steel fabrication and large part precision machining, is working with MSC Industrial Supply Co. (MSC), a national supplier of metalworking and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products and services, to help it reduce its consumable spend.

Having previously known MSC as a tooling supplier, TM Engineers is now benefitting from the expertise of MSC’s application engineering team which is helping it become more efficient and profitable. This includes analysing processes in order to implement optimum production strategies and providing CNC programming support to help convert engineering drawings into CNC code.

Established in 1948, TM Engineers has one of the UK’s largest fabrication and machining facilities producing highly bespoke, heavy steel fabricated and machined parts for many sectors within manufacturing and engineering including nuclear, marine, subsea, oil and gas, military and automotive.

Andrew Garton, operations director at TM Engineers said: “The MSC team is opening our eyes to a better way of working by providing strategic production advice and helping us drive down our consumable spend.

“Unless you have someone like MSC come into your business and advise you on the cutting-edge. modern technologies that are available, that do the same job but better, more efficiently and give you superior finishes, all while improving your process time, you’re not to know.

“We are discovering MSC to be far more than a catalogue supplier and look forward to seeing how much more efficient we will become over the coming months.”

MSC continues to experience significant growth and is being recognised more and more for its ability to provide a complete solution to UK manufacturing businesses.

Managing director, Dave Darby added: “This is another great example of MSC being a true partner to its customers, transforming the way they operate and helping them realise cost savings and generate more capacity so they can take on additional work and become more profitable.”

MSC works with a number of high-profile businesses from the aerospace, automotive and precision engineering sectors, including Gardner Aerospace, JW Kane, Arrowsmith and Bromford Industries.
