The origins of Salcey Precision Engineering can be traced back to\u00a0the Second World War when \u201cSalcey Jig and Tool\u201d was in existence. The name “Salcey” comes from the former Royal Hunting Forest (Salcey Forest) that sits beside the small Northamptonshire village of Hartwell.\u00a0 The company originally occupied a shed in the back garden of 12 Forest Road, Hartwell, and some of the existing workforce were still there in 1972 when Mr Howard Smart, the Proprietor, sold the business.<\/p>\n
Ken Parfitt, a qualified engineer from Towcester, entered into partnership with Tony Smith to expand the company\u2019s traditional business in the aerospace industry and the company was then renamed \u201cSalcey Precision Engineering Limited\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tony Smith eventually left the business and\u00a0the company grew in size over the years to the point it had\u00a0three\u00a0Directors to help the ongoing development of the business.<\/p>\n
In 1983, the company moved to a purpose built factory on the outskirts of Hartwell\u00a0village at ‘Greenfields’ and it now employs around 23 staff.\u00a0\u00a0It has a firm belief in\u00a0technological development and investment to keep ahead.\u00a0 By being quality led it to become the first company in Northamptonshire to achieve BS 5750 approval, now BS EN ISO9001 : 2015.<\/p>\n
Ken retired in 2006 and passed the reins onto\u00a0his son-in-law Richard Alcock who is the\u00a0current Managing Director.<\/p>\n
Salcey Precision Engineering now stands as one of the largest sub-contract engineering companies in the county, and is now heavily involved in the manufacture of components for the Motorsport\u00a0and Medical industry as well as\u00a0its traditional Aerospace work.<\/p>\n
Salcey Precision see’s its future in delivering\u00a0complex machined parts quickly for demanding customers who require\u00a0a high\u00a0standard\u00a0of\u00a0quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
