Pentaxia Doubles Prepreg Kit-Cutting Capabilities with New Zund G3 Machine

We are thrilled to announce that Pentaxia has doubled its prepreg kit-cutting capabilities with the installation of a second Zund G3 cutting machine. This new machine is equipped with Zund UK Ltd’s latest ZCC software suite, significantly enhancing our nesting and material utilisation capabilities. Additionally, we have upgraded our original G3 to the same standard.

We extend our gratitude to Thomas Scott and the team at Zund for their support in making this possible.

At Pentaxia, our long-term continuous investment strategy ensures that we always have the latest equipment for our team to utilise. This approach not only enhances our operational efficiency but also provides redundancy to minimise downtime, ensuring we maintain our critical on-time delivery performance for our customers. Increasing our capability is crucial to meeting the growing demands of our customers and delivering the high-quality solutions they expect from us.

Our comprehensive services include 5-axis machining (patterns, jigs, fixtures), composite tooling, component manufacturing (autoclave & press processing), painting, and lacquering. We offer turnkey solutions for concepts, prototyping, and volume/serial production manufacturing, all while adhering to AS9100 Rev D and IATF:16949 standards.

Whether you are in the defence, aerospace, space, automotive, EV, or eVTOL sectors, we invite you to visit our impressive 70,000 sqft facility in Derby. We would love to demonstrate our expertise in delivering quality, on-time, and competitive composite solutions.

A special thanks to Nick Price and our brilliant team for coordinating this project internally, including the construction of a new defrost room.
