For Immediate Release

Diamond Grinding Facility Now Fully Operational

Following last year’s acquisition of Shanoc Precision Engineering by Birmingham based Precision Ceramics, the diamond grinding operations of both businesses have now been successfully consolidated into a single unit at the company’s Lower Tower Street headquarters.

Shanoc specialised in the diamond grinding of several key ceramics including alumina, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium diboride and aluminium nitride. Following the acquisition, their entire stock of raw materials, together with specialist grinding equipment, was transferred to Precision Ceramics.

Shanoc supplied their specialist services into applications as diverse as research, scientific instruments , medical , nuclear, military, lasers  and aerospace and their extensive tooling knowledge is now set to considerably improve the quality and precision of diamond drills and form tools used by Precision Ceramics.

Throughout the transitional period, Shanoc's Managing Director, Ken Huetson, provided full support and continues to offer technical help and advice to Precision Ceramics based on over 30 years experience in ceramic grinding.
