London-based Everglade Windows has marked ten years of partnership with Emmegi (UK) by investing in a new Comet X4 fully soundproofed 4-axis CNC machining centre.
Everglade bought its original Emmegi machining centre, a Phantomatic T3A in 2011. It then added a Comet T6HP, which it upgraded to a Quadra L1 cutting and machining centre in 2012. It also purchased a Satellite XT which it part exchanged for a second Quadra in 2018, and now also owns the latest Comet X4. It has two dedicated factories for fabricating aluminium products – one with a Quadra and Phantomatic T3A and one with a Quadra and Comet, both with the same layout and similar outputs.
MD Yogesh Gopal said: “Our relationship with Emmegi is very much based on mutual respect and understanding. There’s no hard sell – just a genuine commitment from them to help us leverage as many benefits as we can for our customers using their machinery. For instance, they pointed out that the new Comet X4 delivers even faster output than the Phantomatic and has features which will help us to optimise production on our bespoke frames. For us, that could potentially make an important difference to our efficiency and service, which would in turn benefit our customers.”
Emmegi MD Ian Latimer addeed: “We have been involved with Everglade Windows’s expansion for years and have helped them invest in machines which met their longer-term plans. As a result, they are very well prepared for the current record levels of demand and are seeing a really good return on their investment.”
