CNC Machining

Precision Turning, Milling &
Multi-Axis CNC Machining.

Donlouco supplies high-quality CNC-machined parts to OEMs across Ireland, the UK and Europe. All CNC work is done in-house at our own machining facility in Jiashan, China, managed from our head office in Cork. We specialise in complex, customer-specific components: forged and cast parts with secondary machining, and parts machined from solid, delivered ready-to-fit to your factory floor.

Owning the factory means we control scheduling, process, quality and cost directly, with no intermediary between your drawing and the machine.

Quality & Traceability

Quality CNC Machined Parts
Guaranteed.

Every part is made to the customer's exact specification and finish. We work closely with customers to understand the intricacies of a part beyond what can be written on a drawing, and because the factory is ours, those requirements reach the operator without dilution.

  • CMM inspection on all critical parts.
  • Surface measurement and Ra finish verification.
  • Go/No-Go gauges: thread, custom and dimensional.
  • Material analysis and raw material certification.
  • Full traceability report with every shipment.
  • ISO 9001 certified & EN 1090 approved for CE marking.
