Explore how AEC’s commitment to precision engineering ensures unparalleled quality control in every project. Discover our approach to custom engineering solutions.
In precision engineering even a micron-level deviation can mean the difference between success and failure. At Ashtead Engineering Company (AEC), we’re not just aware of this fact – we live by it. In this post, we dive into how our commitment to quality sets us apart and ensures success in every project, from CNC machining to custom engineered solutions.

Growth Through Quality Engineering
Our growth strategy is simple yet effective – retaining both existing and new customers through exceptional quality products and services. Our proven quality records have helped us achieve significant growth in the past years, and we are confident of continuing this trend in the future.
We understand that our target market demands extremely high and demanding standards, and we are always up for the challenge. As a subcontract manufacturer, we know that our clients’ expectations are sky-high, and we exceed them by employing the latest technology and equipment and skilled and experienced engineers to ensure precision and accuracy in every project we undertake.
We are continuously investing in research and development to stay ahead of the competition and provide innovative solutions to our clients. Our dedication to excellence and quality has helped us establish a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy partner for precision engineering.
How AEC Ensures Quality
At AEC quality control is not just a priority, it is a foundational principle guiding everything we do. Our approach is multi-faceted, focusing on continuous investment in cutting-edge machinery and rigorous inspection protocols to maintain the high standards we set for ourselves.
Investing in machines not only improves reliability and repeatability, but also allows us to incorporate in-process measurements. We recognise that investment in inspection equipment is often overlooked by machining firms, but we are dedicated to invest in this critical area. For instance, we have recently acquired the TVM35, showcasing our commitment to utilising modern equipment.
However, our pursuit of quality extends beyond our equipment. We firmly believe in the power of collaboration with our clients. By actively seeking and incorporating their feedback we are able to better align our processes with their exact needs. Regular audits are conducted with our clients which provides us with invaluable insights, covering everything from paperwork to machining. This collaborative approach ensures we stay aligned with the evolving demands of the industries we work across and fosters and environment of continuous improvement.
