The bank's commercial finance team provided a hire purchase facility to buy the Ernst Deburring machine and the Gemini Ficep Fabrication machine.
An additional £72,000 was secured by the business through the Government's Regional Growth Fund.
The investment has already resulted in a new job at the business, with further opportunities expected in sales and inspection over the coming months.

Director Paul Dyche said: "Investing in these new machines is a significant step in our growth strategy, as it complements our current processes, allowing us to shorten lead times and increase production capacity.
