CNC turners make rotationally symmetrical precision parts — from pins to complex shafts. On a Mazak Integrex, Mori NLX or Star sliding-head, you turn steel, stainless steel or aluminium into precision parts that hold tolerances down to 5 µm. In Heerlen you are close to manufacturing, smart services and logistics. FlexHero places skilled workers here every day — mainly from other EU countries — with housing in the region and transport to the workplace.
