BATORER Precision Engineers 50th Anniversary Brochure
Batorer was incorporated on the 21st June 1974. Partners John Irving and Tony Lees had worked alternative nights away from their full time jobs for an engineering company in Halifax before deciding to create their own business. Their first premises were in Stocks Bank Road, Mirfield. A small workshop where their first jobs were machine parts for the new monorail at Flamingo Land in Pickering and brass parts for a Yorkshire supplier of hand pulled beer pumps. By mid-1975 John and Tony were being awarded enough work to leave their jobs and commit everything to Batorer on a full-time basis. They moved to premises at the top end of Ashton Clough Road in Liversedge. The site where their first employees would join them. John Skelton was their first night-shift worker and would remain with the company until 2022 having given 45 years service to the company. Growth continued and by 1985 the business had around 20 employees requiring another move in 1980 to Watergate Mills in Liversedge. Tony Lees became sole owner in 1990 - although John, remained an employee, on and off, for a further 20 years. Batorer moved to its current site - Rawfolds Way, Cleckheaton - in 1994. In 2004 – with the business having grown to 50 employees – a Management buyout took place in the October, with new directors, Martin Dixon, Tony Redfern and Simon Irving taking control, with the help and dedication of shareholders David Whitehead and Richard Hird.

For over 50 years, Batorer Precision Engineering has been working with and developing close relationships with the vital parts of the Machine Shop Supply Chain – metal and composite suppliers, subcontract service suppliers and tooling suppliers. All our Suppliers must meet with the requirements of our Integrated Management System to gain Approved Status and work with Batorer. In metals, we buy both “to order” for specific jobs and operate a Consignment Stock system with key metal Suppliers on “stock” bar sizes and materials which are frequently required on the shop floor. Minimising lead times through maximising our Supply Chain is a key aspect of our
customer support and allows us to respond to our Customer’s requirements more effectively. Our customers depend on the supply of vital components delivered on time. Whether that is to ensure their own assembly and production schedules run smoothly or that they achieve their project deadlines, on-time delivery is key. Batorer hasn’t only invested in CNC Machines and the latest Inspection Equipment but also in systems to allow us to meet those demands through efficient Production & Capacity Management. On Time Delivery is a key performance indicator with the business and is monitored as part of our continuous improvement system.
Oil & Gas, Rail, Petrochemicals, Nuclear, Cryogenics, Healthcare, Automotive and Submarines are just some of the demanding market sectors that rely on Batorer to meet their requirements for accurately machined parts and sub-assemblies. Simply put, we have a pedigree in sub-contract machining that you can depend on to deliver your components and assemblies on-time, from initial drawing to delivery. Located close to the M62 in West Yorkshire we have over 30 CNC Machines within our capacity – including 3, 4 & 5 Axis Milling, Turning, Sliding Head and Mill Turn machines. With dedicated Sales, Purchasing and Transport staff, Batorer can be relied on to manage your orders from material procurement, through to delivery to your site.

Quality is central to everything that we do at Batorer. Our Customers operate in the most demanding markets and require components which are both accurate to drawing and with all of the supporting documentation to evidence compliance that they need. Whether this is in the form of dimensional reports, material certification, or sub contract coating and treatment operations we have the equipment, expertise and long established supplier base to ensure we can deliver Batorer is ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 14001:2015 / ISO 45001 certified under our Integrated Management System. In addition we are verified under the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme – RISQS – to allow supply to the Rail Industry of machined parts and components. Amongst the range of equipment that we have at our disposal is the latest CNC CMM (the Aberlink Axiom Too) and Image Dimension Measurement (the Keyence IM-7500 System). The Axiom Too CNC CMMs at Batorer offer our team the options of touch trigger probing or continuous contact scanning probing. We have two Axiom’s – one for Shop Floor in process inspection and a second machine in our Quality department for final inspection. CMM Data is used extensively within Batorer to ensure accuracy of machining at key stages in the routing and also to check finished parts before dispatch. The two machines are networked and operate the exact same programmes to guarantee accuracy and avoid discrepancies in programming parameters.
With Y axis travel up to 1500mm, the Axiom gives us comprehensive coverage and also allows us to produce comprehensive Inspection Reports for our customers if they are required. Whether we’re checking “first off” parts, batch samples or 100% inspecting, we can be sure that the parts we produce comply with our customers' requirements.
