Supporting customers in ever changing markets
TTV Industrial Ltd , formed in 1989 , is a family owned and run precision engineering business situated near Ipswich in Suffolk .
Our ethos is to build a customer base , by working towards a long term mutually beneficial relationship . We understand that one of the hardest parts of running a business is to find suppliers that will work with you , a good supplier is as important as the customer .
TTV gained a reputation in various industries for re-engineering parts to eliminate unacceptable failure and plant down time and this continues today . Our design and reverse engineering team have many years of experience . A priority in any design is to design for manufacture this helps to ensure that the parts can be quickly and therefore economically produced .
In 1989 we bought pre-owned machines , Mazak mainly , as even then we recognised the speed of programming was essential , particularly for short order production efficiency and never dreamt of a situation where we found it essential to have the latest machine tools at hand . The Mazak rep came around for years before he gained an order . Starting the business was hard work , if you ’ re awake , you ’ re at work and in poor condition rented Ex WW2 USAF buildings . Being able to design and build a purpose-built facility in 2010 was a dream come true . Working all day , building at night and weekends has paid off . A facility that we are so proud of where visitors say , “ have you got a

job for me ?” when you hear that it is very satisfying .
It important to us that our customers know we are happy to help with a one-off part or a production run and just in time batch delivery . With this in mind , we are set up to manufacture efficiently as it ’ s that one off part that so often leads to ongoing work and batch production where we utilise our machines that feature self-loading and turning during the machining operation .
Quality Control is high on every one ’ s agenda , but TTV have taken this to a high with in process , on the machine , dimensional checks recorded using wireless enabled measuring devices and pre-loaded tolerances that must be met to proceed , every part has its own record that corresponds with the laser etched part number suffix .
We have 23CNC spindles and our machining capacity is best described by saying that chucking work on the lathes is currently limited to 600mm diameter that ’ s both horizontal and HD vertical machines with simultaneous 4th axis milling machines “ paired ” with the lathes with spindle speeds up to 24k RPM . Grinding and balancing is also an important part of our in-house ability .
We are always happy to quote and what have you to lose .
