What Penta Precision does

Penta Precision Engineering Limited is a UK private limited company (company number 03478011) founded in 1998 and headquartered at Murrills Industrial Estate, Portchester, Hampshire. The company operates a precision CNC machining job shop delivering 3, 4, and 5-axis milling, multi-axis turning (up to Ø260mm billet x 550mm length), design-for-manufacture consultancy, and prototype machining across aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, brass, bronze, copper, and engineering plastics including PEEK and acetal. Secondary offerings span finishing processes (anodising, passivation, plating, bead blasting, powder coating) and assembly services, supporting a one-stop-shop model. Operational scale cited by the company includes 135,000+ parts delivered in 2025, 99.3% conformance to specification, 99.5% quality performance score, and 41-minute average first-off inspection time.

The company serves nine vertical segments: aerospace, pharmaceutical and medical, scientific instruments, electronics and computing, military and defence, marine, OEM suppliers, R&D/prototyping, and processing and packaging. Customers are reached via a sales-led, direct B2B model with quote-based project pricing routed through website forms, phone (023 9266 8334), and email, supported by consulting estimators who are described as time-served machinists. Sales channels are domestic UK only.

Revenue mechanics are project-based unit pricing driven by material, machine time, setup, inspection, finishing, and delivery, with typical volumes ranging from prototype one-offs (£300-£700) to batches of fifty (£30-£150 per part). Credentials include ISO 9001:2015 certification from the British Assessment Bureau and JOSCAR registration (renewed 2025) for aerospace, defence, and security supply chains. The management team is led by Managing Director Mark Walker with a Head of Sales and Marketing (Sam Brown) and Data Protection Officer (Ann Raybould); no external investors, parent entities, or funding rounds are disclosed.
