Kennewell CNC Machining

Description

Beautiful Parts. Perfect Enclosures. Exceptional Value.

Kennewell CNC Machining is a 100% Australian-owned precision engineering company specialising in the manufacture of high-quality aluminium enclosures, housings, chassis and complex machined components for Defence, aerospace and advanced manufacturing customers.

Our reputation is built on producing beautiful parts with exceptional cosmetic finish, dimensional accuracy and assembly-ready quality. We are particularly recognised for precision-machined aluminium enclosures where appearance, fit, function and repeatability are critical.

We help Defence Primes and Tier 1 suppliers reduce cost without compromising quality by combining advanced automation with expert machining strategies. Our automated CNC machining cells deliver efficient lights-out production, enabling competitive pricing, shorter lead times and consistent quality.

In addition to complex milled components, we manufacture difficult turned parts including precision fittings, fasteners, shafts, bushes and custom hardware requiring tight tolerances and reliable repeatability.

Advanced Metrology and Quality Assurance

Quality is verified through our dedicated metrology laboratory featuring:

• Wenzel LH87 Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)
• VICIVISION PRIMA 606 Optical Measurement System

These capabilities provide rapid inspection, comprehensive dimensional verification and confidence that components meet specification before delivery.

Kennewell operates under an ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System and maintains Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) membership, supporting customers with demanding quality, traceability and security requirements.

Digital Manufacturing Excellence

Our operations are powered by ProShop ERP, widely regarded as one of the world's leading manufacturing management systems for precision machine shops. ProShop provides complete digital traceability across quoting, planning, production, quality, inspection and delivery, ensuring process control and accountability throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.

Investing in Sovereign Defence Capability

To further strengthen our capability to support Defence and advanced manufacturing customers, Kennewell is currently undertaking a $1.5 million capability expansion supported by a Defence Industry Development Grant (DIDG).

This investment includes additional high-performance Japanese CNC machine tools and an Australian-made automated storage solution, increasing production capacity, improving workflow efficiency and enhancing responsiveness for complex manufacturing programs.
