Lancashire-based engineering solutions provider ELE Advanced Technologies (ELE) has invested over half a million pounds in new technology following a major contract award.

Its investment of £700,000 in three brand-new Fast Hole Drill electrical discharge machines follows appointment by a global technology powerhouse located in Canada to provide complex components for use in the energy sector.

The new technology will enable ELE – which works with some of the biggest original equipment manufacturers in the world – to boost its capacity to undertake specialist drilling techniques to produce complex cooling holes for engine components that improve engine efficiency and performance. 

Investment in the latest technology is central to how the business leads in its sectors for providing innovative engineering solutions says CEO David Stanley: “Our customers most often come to us when they are facing a complex engineering challenge or have a performance target that they need to achieve. 

“Offering a wide range of advanced technologies, combined with the technical capabilities of a highly skilled team applying a ‘can do’ attitude, enables us to help make the impossible possible.”

Installation of the new machines is the latest in a series of investments by the engineering business, which in 2023 invested £2m in relocating to a larger 5,000 sqm manufacturing facility to support further growth.

Employing more than 130 from its new facility in Nelson, Lancashire, the business provides engineering solutions in the aerospace, power generation and automotive sectors for an international customer base, with 75 per cent of components manufactured going into Europe.
