CNC specialist expands with move to Rawtenstall

CNC machining specialist Rochdale Production Services is moving into larger premises in Rawtenstall.

The company, which has been based at its current Rochdale site for 14 years, will change its name to RPS Precision Engineering to reflect the relocation.

The move is a threefold increase in shop floor space for the firm, from 2,200 sq ft to 7,250, allowing for further increases in capacity and future investment in additional CNC equipment.

Michael Sirrell, managing director, said: "We’ve been watching the new premises being built over the last 12 months and can’t wait to get in. We look forward to providing an enhanced service for our loyal customers and the capacity to welcome even more new customers on board too."

The company's move is supported by the appointment of operations and supply chain manager, Ian Cockcroft.

He said: "With my experience in the supply chain, and the exciting opportunities that the move will bring, I’ll be ensuring RPS continue to satisfy all customers both present and future - and with the very latest in CNC technology there should be no stopping us."
