Behind the roar of highly-tuned engines that race around the circuits all over the world is a team of engineers who have been making parts for nearly 24 years C H Martin Engineering has carried out work for teams competing in Indy car racing, Formula One, Formula 3000 and Formula Sport including Benetton, Team Lotus, Pacific and Simtek. Started by the late Colin Martin in 1976, the business now has some of the most up to date computerised equipment available, which is used to make seat belt brackets, engine mounts and many other small but vital parts. Although most of the work done is for cars and motorcycles, other projects have included constructing special drawing equipment for the Jenny Lind children's hospital in Norwich. Most of the parts are made of titanium which is very light but very expensive. The business employs three full time workers. Carole Martin said her husband had started out on his own in Norfolk after working for an engineering firm in Slough. "Basically we do whatever people ask us to do. We work for oilfield companies and the pharmaceutical industry as well as on cars and bikes" If you think this hi-tech country barn could help your business, please click here for a list of ways to contact us. Power Drives PerformanceSuccess. Growth. Opportunity. To those of you who own or manage a business these are words you are vitally interested in applying.Most of the time we associate these words with the sales and marketing of our products or services. Yet while sales and marketing are indeed essential elements for business growth, technological improvements can also bring opportunities. C H Martin Engineering, a Precision Toolmaker and Subcontractor to the Motor Racing Industry, found success and growth in more ways than one when they implemented a new software system into their CNC operation. Established some 27 years ago in Winterton-on-Sea, Norfolk, C H Martin built a reputation for excellence in manufacturing complex parts for various Racing Teams. This was accomplished during the first few years by providing customers with prototypes and parts built to unusually exacting standards. It was not always easy though even for a company with talented staff because racing teams demand the very best quality from their suppliers. At that time computer numerical control operations and Cad/Cam Software were in their infancy. In many ways much of the designing and tooling process was still a "hands on" process. It was extremely demanding on the engineering staff and manufacturing process. Recent developments in CAD/CAM software though gave C H Martin easier and more simple methods of streamlining this process. The working environment at their site has always been quality driven. State of the art engineering software and machining equipment therefore has kept C H Martin at the forefront of their industry. Their machining facility provides precision workmanship and rigid quality control as well as cutting, routing, drilling, milling, turning, and they are often asked to make plastic injection mould tools. |
