01 · The challenge
Kestrel needed trial instruments for a surgeon evaluation that had been brought forward by two months. Their usual supplier quoted nine weeks.
02 · Our approach
We split the order across two sliding-head lathes, ran a weekend shift and laser marked parts in-house. The clean-room team packed and labelled each set ready for sterilisation.
03 · The result
All 60 sets reached the hospital in nine days, with full batch records. The evaluation went ahead on the original date.



“They answered the phone on a Friday and had parts in our hands the following week.”
