Elkington Brothers Toolmaker celebrates 25-year partnership with Delcam
UK - Birmingham-based toolmaker Elkington Brothers has completed 25 years as a customer for Delcam’s CAD/CAM software.

The company installed its first system in 1989, having used traditional methods for the first fifty years following its founding in 1939.
Coming to grips with turbine and impeller machining
“It was a big decision to move to computerised methods as the software alone cost tens of thousands of pounds and the computers and CNC machines were also much more expensive than they are now,” remembered Elkington Brothers’ managing director, James Kelly. “Subsequent years have proved it was the right decision. I’m certain that, if we hadn’t invested in CAD/CAM systems, we wouldn’t be here now.”
Today, Elkington Brothers has seven staff working on the software.
