The Company occupies an ancient mill on the lovely, wooded banks of the River Lune in the village of Halton. The tranquil surroundings of the Lancashire countryside seem a somewhat incuongrous place to find an engineering company which manufactures high-quality precision-engineered components for the aerospace industry. But Luneside Engineering has been based on the site since 1948, and along the way has earned itself a reputation as a supplier of complex and demanding components.

It was actually founded in 1948 by Colonel T. BENIRSKI, and subseqently run by his daughter. Operating from a 45,000 square ft facility on a 6 acre site, the Company was acquired by Jon Armitage and Maurice Haynes in 1994, co-founders and shareholders of the Luneside Group which includes both Luneside Engineering Ltd., based in Lancaster and Cambridge Manufacturing Technology Ltd., based in Cambridge.

It has for many years been a sub-contract precision engineering company with a customer base centred around the aerospace, defence and nuclear industries. Luneside provides a service in design, prototyping and management of heat treatments and plating, supplying finished components to the highest quality.
