Lombard provided funding for a CNC milling
machine as well as the tools and accessories necessary to operate
it.
The machine produces aluminium casings which
were previously produced by Tranquil’s Chinese supplier.
The investment means that Tranquil PC now has
a completely self sufficient production process.
Paul Baxter from RBS and Thomas Brown from
Lombard provided the funding.
