Where does the name MH7 come from

A little more depth about MH7

Back in 1989 when Mark Hirst set up MH7 Engineering in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, with just a turret mill, centre lathe and an old Ward 7 turret lathe. His ambition at the time was simply to provide a niche service to all of the local manufacturing companies who were getting rid of their own toolrooms and maintenance facilities.

Now, 26 years later, he still provides a service to machine one-off parts for machine breakdowns and the occasional mould tool, but MH7 has diversified into general sub-contracting and specialist manufacture of parts for anything from workholding fixtures, through racing car wheels to soap extrusion systems!

What were all about

“Our core focus still remains the low volume, one-off, end of the market where we can use our toolroom skills to get our teeth into specific problems and challenges.

This has given us extensive experience of many different industries, and we have been able to transfer the needs of one industry to another, providing solutions that others may not have come up with,” says Mark Hirst. In addition to the toolroom type of work MH7 also takes on precision sub-contract work and provides a design service to those customers that require it. This has led to some intricate and unusual components being machined.

Our philosophy is to offer a total engineered solution from product design and development, right through to providing the finished item to you.
