The industrial auction house Surplex is selling 450 items of equipment from the Gloucestershire plant, including grinding machines, double turret lathes, vibratory deburring machines and CNC band saws. The auction ends on 2 November, 2021.
Announcing the closure of the Stonehouse site in December 2018, Bernd Stephan, president of SKF’s Automotive and Aerospace business, said that the move was needed “to secure a continued competitive offering for the aerospace industry as it shifts away from legacy engines and aircraft to more modern ones. We will be able to make better use of more modern machines and manufacturing technologies at our sites in other parts of Europe.”
