Sarah Champion MP visits Productive Machines to see cutting-edge manufacturing innovation

Sarah Champion, MP for Rotherham, visited the offices of Productive Machines to learn about the company’s transformative impact on UK manufacturing. During her visit, Sarah had the opportunity to experience first-hand the capabilities of Productive Machines’ flagship product, SenseNC, an autonomous milling optimisation software.

The visit included a demonstration of the company’s ‘tap testing’ process, which is said to optimise machining operations and eliminate costly inefficiencies. Sarah also engaged with the Productive Machines team to discuss how its technology is helping UK manufacturers increase productivity, reduce waste and bring manufacturing back to the UK through reshoring initiatives.

Alex Cotton from AML Sheffield, an aerospace manufacturer and key customer of Productive Machines, also supported the visit. Alex showcased one of the actual parts manufactured by AML using SenseNC. The demonstration highlighted the real-world impact of the software, which has enabled AML to reduce cycle times, improve quality and make UK-based production competitive with overseas alternatives.

Speaking about her visit, Sarah said: “It’s inspiring to see the incredible work being done by Productive Machines right here in Rotherham. Their cutting-edge technology is not only boosting productivity and sustainability for UK manufacturers but also making reshoring a viable option. This is exactly the kind of innovation we need to strengthen British industry and create high-value jobs locally.”

Dr Erdem Ozturk, Founder and CEO of Productive Machines, expressed his gratitude for Sarah’s visit, stating: “We were honoured to host Sarah Champion MP and showcase the impact of our technology on UK manufacturing. SenseNC is designed to help manufacturers achieve world-class results, and it’s exciting to see how our work aligns with the broader goals of supporting British industry and sustainability. We look forward to continuing to drive innovation and growth in the sector.”
