Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities include 3, 4, and 5-axis machining centres, enabling complex geometries and tight tolerances. We handle materials from stainless steel to nickel alloys, supporting industries like oil & gas and Formula 1. With rapid cell manufacturing and ISO 9001-certified processes, we ensure precision components for critical applications.
CNC Turning
Using multi-axis and sliding head lathes, we produce turned components up to 12" chucking capacity. Our services cater to valve manufacturers and industrial clients requiring high-speed delivery. Advanced machinery and ISO-certified quality controls guarantee dimensional accuracy and surface finish consistency for materials like titanium and alloy steels.
Thread Rolling
We specialise in rolling threads from M2 to large diameters in hard materials including super duplex and hastelloy. This cold-forming process enhances thread strength while maintaining ISO 9001 compliance. Applications include subsea valve stems and critical fasteners for oil & gas and aerospace sectors.
Fasteners Production
Our multi-spindle automatic lathes manufacture bolts, nuts, and custom fasteners to ISO, DIN, and ASME standards. We work with corrosion-resistant alloys like 625 and 718 nickel, supporting oil & gas and industrial clients. ISO 9001-certified processes ensure traceability from raw material inspection to final delivery.
Wire Erosion
Using Robocut and Roboform machines, we perform wire and spark erosion for complex shapes in hardened materials. This non-contact process achieves tight tolerances (0.002mm) for tooling, dies, and intricate components. Our ISO 9001-certified team ensures dimensional accuracy for mission-critical applications.

Report
I've been there for 11 months and let me tell you something. Avoid this place as a customer and a worker. Place run by two brother's older one Sean when he get stressed kick everything around. The younger one Gerard shout at everybody . I've seen female stuff cry because of them.i got a lot of stories about this place and alot of evidence with my solicitor i started collecting them after my second day overthere when Gerard started to shout at me because of HIS mistake and even though he knew I don't know much about industry because I just started.
