Newmont Engineering Company Ltd

Newmont Engineering is an established manufacturer of precision components. Products include gears, splines, serrations, shafts, leadscrews, housings, cams, miniature gearboxes, and aerospace, medical, optical and instrument components.

Newmont has a history in precision engineering. A founding director worked on the research of early beam following missiles during the WW2. In the 1960s Newmont were recognised by Marcel Dassult as the source of a precision gear mechanism for the Exocet missile. More up to date instruments produced by Newmont can be seen Saturday nights on casualty. Newmont developed the leadscrew in the medical pumps sometimes shown in the background.

Being at the forefront of technology does not always bring fame; our gears in the Mars probe were never used. Beagle 2 crashed! More recently Newmont have made development components for the new Airbus including splines and brake plates. The launch of the A380 Airbus was rather more successful than Beagle 2!
