Presto Engineering is a UK-based precision engineering and CNC machining company established in 1991, located in Witney, Oxfordshire. Specialising in the manufacture of precision aluminium components, they offer 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC milling capabilities. The company manages all finishing requirements, including anodising, Surtec 650, Irridite, powder coating, wet paint, bead blasting, and graining/brushing, and provides text and graphics services such as screen printing, anoprinting, CNC engraving, laser engraving, laser etching, and laser marking through expert partners.

Their facility in Witney spans over 5,000 sq ft, doubling their machining capacity and employing a team of 12. The family-run business focuses on supplying high-standard aluminium machined parts on time and at a fair price. They accommodate batch sizes from 10 to 10,000 with 24/7 automation and utilise multiple YCM and Doosan machining centres, some with Robojob automation cells, alongside various Nikken and Detron rotary tables. Presto Engineering sources high-quality, traceable raw materials from European suppliers and accepts 2D and 3D data in numerous CAD/CAM formats for programming via FeatureCAM. Their investment in vertical machining centres and 4th Axis capability minimises operations and improves accuracy, while their 5-axis capabilities enable the production of complex machined parts. Presto Engineering serves a range of high-end market sectors, including Broadcasting and Audio, Lighting, Security and Surveillance, Test and Measurement, Military, Automotive and Motorsport, and Robotics and Automation.

Presto Engineering holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and aims to be a single point of contact for machined aluminium parts, handling the entire process from drawing submission to finished part delivery. They emphasise dimensional accuracy and aesthetic finishes, with examples of their work including display housings, front panels, enclosures, heat sinks, and bezels. The company highlights the benefits of their anodising process, such as durability, colour stability, ease of maintenance, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, and health and safety.
