​IGW accelerates production capabilities with new MCM machining center

, 30 March, 2026

Despite challenging market conditions, IGW continues to grow and invest in the future. One of our latest milestones is the installation of a brand‑new MCM machining center—an important step that strengthens our capacity for large machined components and supports our long‑term strategic ambition to deliver faster, smarter, and more flexible manufacturing solutions.
A future‑proof investment in efficiency and innovation
The investment was driven by two major developments:

  • an increasing demand for new and complex components, and
  • emerging technologies that significantly enhance manufacturing speed, reliability, and efficiency.

The new MCM machine replaces a 20‑year‑old unit and is expected to serve at least two more decades. More importantly, it introduces a new level of automation and precision to our machining operations.

Higher capacity, greater flexibility

Equipped with a robotic deburring cell and state‑of‑the‑art 5‑axis machining centers connected via automated pallet pools, the new MCM line significantly boosts our production capabilities.
These innovations allow us to:

  • shorten our time‑to‑market
  • increase throughput and production stability
  • react more flexibly to customer needs

This 2‑million‑euro investment is already proving to be a smart move. With demand continuing to rise, IGW is currently evaluating the purchase of two additional machines dedicated to smaller components.

Enabling precision across diverse industries

The new machining center is used for the production of IGW’s high‑quality large machined components, ranging from 1 to 3 meters in aluminum.
Today, we manufacture parts for sectors such as:

  • the medical industry (e.g., C‑arm components)
  • global market‑leading OEMs in the semiconductor sector

These markets are examples of where our components are used today, but we are not limited to these sectors.
IGW’s advanced machining capabilities are designed to serve a broad and evolving range of industries where precision, reliability, and large‑scale aluminum components are essential.
