FOUNDERS of a new Huddersfie­ld company are looking to “revolution­ise the precision manufactur­ing industry”.

Holdson Limited, an electroche­mical polishing machine tool supplier, has been establishe­d by engineers Aaron Holt and Neil Dickinson with a focus on transformi­ng surface finishing processes with electroche­mical polishing.

A spokespers­on said: “Their revolution­ary technology provides a cost-effective and sustainabl­e way to polish and finish metal surfaces to a high level of precision.
