This month, we spotlight one of our premier manufacturers’, Newact Inc. out of Batavia, OH. Newact specializes in precision machining of Plastics and Aluminum. In addition to machining, Newact has manufactured custom Rubber Molded parts since 1987.

Newact Inc. has made a name in the plastics machining industry by utilizing a unique forms of manufacturing. While the lathes and mills are traditional used plastics machining, Newact applies the usage of CNC Routers in production. Their CNC table routers provide advantages in the production process that sets Newact apart from common plastic and aluminum machining companies.

What makes Newact different?
Speed
A CNC Router runs on average of 2x the speed of a mill. This allows for a better per piece price due to shorter production times. Using a CNC Router also allows for nesting and a reduction of waste there by limiting material and recycling costs.
Adaptability
With a 5’ x 12’ table size, Newact’s CNC Routers are able to produce parts with a wide range of thickness, shapes, and quantities. With a larger cutting area, the CNC Router can out-perform a mill by producing larger pieces or additional number of parts using one piece of sheet to save on costs.
Quality
Newact’s CNC Routers have been excellent for holding unique shapes that require a high tolerance. From intricate inlays, curves and raised borders, the CNC Router has the ability to provide you with a reliable and quality part whether its 1 piece or 100.

Let Weigel & Associates and Newact show you how our production methods and experience can save your company time, headaches and money on your plastic and aluminum machining needs.
