Solar energy boost for 2025
We're starting 2025 with a boost to our solar energy capacity. As an aerospace manufacturer Hymec's energy consumption is significant. As a result we are constantly exploring ways to reduce our CO2e emissions and find efficient, greener ways of producing the electricity our business needs. Working with the team at CleanEarth, we have extended our solar installation by 170% to over 400kW, providing up to 20% of our annual energy requirements.
Research and Development
Launch of Hymec USA
We are proud and excited to announce the opening of our USA branch in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Hymec Precision Engineering LLC will bring our proven track record of complex, high-quality machined components and our full range of services to US customers nationwide. Check out our Hymec USA page for more information.
Our dedicated research and development team are constantly working to optimise machining and assembly processes and investigate ways to make methods more cost and time efficient. A recent trial involved programming a robotic arm to perform a repetitive task, ensuring efficiency and allowing skilled staff time to be better utilised elsewhere.
Cutting edge at Hymec USA
A 1,000kg metal billet for a 40kg finished part!
For this complex prototype we machined from a solid metal billet to allow the customer to continue development and prove out the process before investing in tooling costs for production diecasting. Due to the deep geometry and tapered faces, we machined it in one operation, rotating it between centres. Machining from solid was chosen as it gave the closest final material properties to the diecast version. This complex part was completed within two weeks, from initial enquiry to delivery of product.
