Rubbernek, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

When Rubbernek Fittings, a manufacturer of premium quality hydraulic fittings, adaptors & couplings needed to invest in new machinery four years ago they turned to Citizen Machinery. A Tier 1 supplier to a significant number of OEM’s Rubbernek have over 2,000 different part numbers and produce over 5 million parts per year to companies across the globe. With slow production times and poor reliability on their old machines Rubbernek needed to find a solution and Citizen Machinery were only too happy to help. Citizen’s sliding head technology provided higher productivity, increased reliability and better quality products. As Shawn White tells MTDCNC’s Tom Skubala the recent addition of a Citizen L32 VIII is down to the performance of their three existing Citizen machines that have performed faultlessly. As Group Managing Director Mike Creighton says, Citizens sales & service support have been first class and he would have no hesitation in recommending Citizen Machinery to anyone.
