2 of the Directors

Global Datum is primarily about people.

We have Sales Engineers - NOT Salesmen.

They have come from production and design, have been around the block and understand the pressures and deadlines that you have.

We spend a fortune on software to read and translate Gerber, ODB++ and FAZ files but it is our Customer Engineers who work
out what you are wanting, how quickly you can get it and how much it is going to cost.

We are the second largest user of AlphaCAM in the world. We spend over 10% of our turnover on research and development.
We have developed the most advanced tools anywhere in the world dedicated to quickly and accurately generating production
tooling. But it is the 10,000 jobs and 35,000 drawings worth of experience coupled with the Designers who are going to get you the tooling that works the first time that you use it.

We have state of the art vertical machining centres with 10,000 rpm spindles, dynamic probing, vacuum tables, solid diamond tooling
all programmed off-line, but it is the Tradesmen who work three shifts and weekends to give you 24/7 coverage and to make sure
your tooling is made quickly and accurately.

We have developed a cross integrated, event driven manufacturing system linked to our accounts but it is our Production and
Financial Controllers
who are going to make sure that the tooling is delivered on time, and when it isn't they have the guts to tell
you, before the disaster at your end.
