Chesterfield-based BG Engineering (
www.bgeng.com), a sub-contractor that specialises in CNC engineering, has marked its 30th anniversary by tripling the size of its manufacturing facility.
Having acquired space next to its existing facilities, the company has increased the size of its factory floor to over 44,000ft

To mark the 30-year milestone, it recently held a day of celebration, which included a lunch for its staff at a local restaurant.
Managing director Antony Holmes said: “Our on-going success is due to the continued investment in our manufacturing facility, team and services.
"This is an exciting time for our business; as part of our growth plans, we’re working towards securing AS 9100 accreditation to become an approved aerospace supplier.”
From its beginnings in 1988, BG Engineering has grown to become one of the region’s leading sub-contractorss, with more than 30 staff (including four apprentices) and 18 CNC machines in its inventory.
With customers around the UK and in Europe, it manufactures OEM parts mainly for the gas valve sector, but it also has clients in other industries, including food and beverage, high-pressure cylinders and utilities.
The company is ISO 9001 certified, and its in-house inspection department ensures that all parts are ‘right first time’. It recently invested in a new apprentice machine cell and acquired an in-house pressure test and assembly facility.
