MODERN MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN THE HEART OF CORBY
CR Services Corby Ltd operates from a comprehensively equipped engineering facility in Corby, Northamptonshire, housing state-of-the-art CNC machining centres and advanced fabrication equipment. Our substantial investment in modern manufacturing technology enables us to deliver precision components and bespoke steelwork with exceptional quality and efficiency.
Our 10,000+ square foot workshop is divided into dedicated areas for CNC machining, fabrication, welding, and finishing operations. This segregated layout ensures contamination-free manufacturing environments, particularly crucial for food industry and pharmaceutical applications requiring stainless steel fabrication.
CNC Machining Department: Equipped with multiple XYZ CNC lathes and milling machines, our machining department handles everything from single prototype components to large batch production. Advanced CAD/CAM software integration ensures efficient programming and optimal machining strategies.
Fabrication & Welding Department: Our fabrication area houses cutting, forming, and welding equipment capable of processing materials from thin gauge sheet to 20mm plate thickness. Dedicated stainless steel and mild steel zones prevent cross-contamination, essential for hygiene-critical applications.
Quality Assurance: Precision measuring equipment throughout the facility ensures rigorous quality control at every manufacturing stage. Calibrated instruments provide dimensional verification, whilst our experienced team maintains consistently high standards.
Located at Unit 7 Darwin Court, Willowbrook Industrial Estate, our facility offers excellent transport links serving clients throughout the UK. Secure premises with ample storage capacity for materials and finished goods.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I visit your facility to see your equipment and workshop?
Absolutely! We welcome customers to visit our Corby facility and see our equipment firsthand. Facility tours help you understand our capabilities, quality standards, and manufacturing processes. Seeing our CNC machines, fabrication equipment, and workshop layout in operation provides confidence in our ability to handle your projects. We recommend calling ahead to arrange a convenient time at 07494 103591. This ensures one of our experienced team members is available to show you around, discuss your specific requirements, and answer technical questions. Our workshop is located at Unit 7 Darwin Court, Willowbrook Industrial Estate, easily accessible from the A43 and A427. Tours typically last 30-45 minutes but can be extended if you’d like detailed discussion about particular equipment or processes.
What's the difference between your CNC equipment and manual machines?
Our CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment offers automated precision manufacturing controlled by computer programs. The XYZ CNC lathes and milling machines excel at batch production, complex geometries, and maintaining tight tolerances across multiple identical components. Once programmed, CNC machines deliver exceptional consistency and can operate with minimal supervision. Manual machines, operated by skilled machinists, provide flexibility for one-off components, simple geometries, quick modifications, and emergency repairs where CNC programming time would be disproportionate to the job value. We assess each project and recommend the most cost-effective manufacturing method. For single emergency parts, manual machining often provides faster, cheaper solutions. For production runs of 5+ components or complex shapes, CNC delivers superior efficiency and repeatability. Having both capabilities allows us to optimise manufacturing strategies for your specific requirements.
