Chris Smedley of Malvern Engineering turned redundancy into opportunity, founding the company within 45 minutes of leaving his job. This bold spirit has driven Malvern Engineering to success, producing diverse components for industries like automotive and aerospace. Recently, the acquisition of a Quaser MV184 EV 4-axis machining centre from ETG has enhanced their capabilities, improving efficiency and quality.

It's often the impulsive decisions in life that create an impact, and this was certainly the case for Chris Smedley of Malvern Engineering. When Smedley was made redundant over 15 years ago, he walked out of his employment and 45 minutes later, he signed a contract for an industrial unit and started Malvern Engineering. This entrepreneurial spirit and level of determination have served the company well since its inception and are still imbued in the ethos of the small business to this very day. So, when his regular machine tool dealer couldn’t offer the solution the business required, Smedley approached the Engineering Technology Group (ETG) and bought his first 4-axis machining centre — a Quaser MV184 EV.

The journey for Malvern Engineering has seen the company manufacture everything from motorsport parts to military components and much more. The company works with prestigious manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, food and pharmaceutical sectors to the toolmaking and extrusion die industry — like a typical subcontract manufacturer, Malvern Engineering will take on virtually anything that is thrown its way. This is why the company that is nestled under the shadow of the beautiful Malvern Hills has invested in a 4-axis Quaser machining centre from ETG.
