About Us

Star Micronics GB is the wholly owned UK and Eire subsidiary of Star Micronics Co Ltd, which produces sliding-headstock lathes at its ultra modern Kikugawa plant in Japan. The headquarters is in Shizuoka.


The UK subsidiary has a state of the art technology centre in Melbourne, Derbyshire, and a team of the best applications engineers in the UK.  We can offer you accuracy, repeatibility, reliability and lower component cycle times using Star sliding-headstock lathes.  There's the right level of training and support too, with finance options for easy purchase, extended service warranty and a parts centre with a multi million £ inventory.


For existing and potential users of sliding-head automatics that cannot justify investment in new equipment, Star offers reconditioned machines, complete with warranty, that have been taken back from customers in part exchange and restored to their original condition.  In this way, a high specification turning facility may be purchased at a competitive price.
