Vision Engineering adds new Midlands-based anodising facility to its UK manufacturing capability
Vision Engineering Ltd , a multinational designer and manufacturer of innovative , patented ergonomic stereo optical and digital instruments has relocated its anodising arm , Milturn Finishing , to a brand new facility in Measham , Leicestershire following its acquisition in 2022 . The Leicestershire location is beneficial as the Midlands serves as a major hub for UK manufacturing , innovation , and skilled workforce .
The new ISO9001 certified site delivers modern new facilities which include large 3m x 1.5m anodising tanks , which accommodate larger work pieces , enabling efficient processing of entire components without needing to break them down . This reduces processing time and cost . Larger tanks enable deeper immersion for uniform anodising . The increased depth allows for complete submersion of parts , ensuring consistent coating thickness and quality across the entire surface and reduced handling needs for smaller parts , meaning that batch processing of smaller parts becomes more efficient , minimising handling time and potential damage .
