Profile

Established in 1981 and based in the heart of the West Midlands, Microplus has over 25 years specialising in the centerless grinding sector.

With our sector knowledge and expertise we provide outsourced, machining solutions for automotive, hydraulic and agriculture manufacturers, offering fast turnaround at competitive rates – backed by ISO 9001 –2000 accreditation.

As a family run business, we are committed to quality and value, machining to the tightest tolerances in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Since 2004 we have diversified into CNC turning, which offers customers a bespoke, single source option for high precision turned parts.

Substantial re-investment in the latest Star CNC Sliding Head technology offers customers outstanding quality and value, resulting in up to 60%  savings in the cost of machining; components can now be reliably mill turned to the required accuracy, in a single visit to the machine.
