Makino top management visits NCMT in 60th year of cooperation

Shotaro Miyazaki, President of Tokyo-based Makino Milling Machine Co visited UK and Ireland sales and service agent NCMT in Coventry at the end of May 2024 to participate in their joint 60th anniversary celebrations.

The occasion was especially pertinent, as Makino was Gerry Gray’s first technology partner, which led directly to the founding of NCMT by Mr Gray in 1964 to sell Makino products exclusively, an association that has endured and strengthened over the years. When the initial machine was imported, it was the first Japanese-built CNC machine tool to be installed in the UK. More than 100 guests sat down to lunch at NCMT’s showroom and technical centre to commemorate all these achievements.
