14 million euros have been invested in Mazak's European factory in Worcester, UK, over the past five years, and a further 5 million euros worth of new production machinery is also on the agenda this year. The reason for the investments has everything to do with the commitment to an efficient, sustainable and productive factory. Mazak organised an event for the international trade press in mid-April to present the latest news and the revamped production plant. The Mazak factory in Worcester is one of 10 manufacturing sites in the world and has been producing different types of machine tools, including CNC lathes, vertical machining centres and five-axis machines, since 1987. In total, more than 30,000 machines have already left the plant. Currently, the plant has a capacity of 100 machines per month. This is enough to fill about 50% of Europe's machine needs. The Worcester plant now produces 300 different machine versions, including the Quick Turn VCE, VCN, VTC and CV5-500 series.
