Services
Cold Forming
Cold forming produces precision metal components using pressure without heat, reducing waste and enhancing material properties. Ideal for copper, aluminium, and stainless steel, this process ensures high accuracy and cost efficiency. Clients benefit from faster production cycles and sustainable manufacturing practices.
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services deliver complex, high-tolerance parts through turning and milling. Advanced machinery ensures consistency and efficiency for prototyping or large-scale production. Industries rely on us for reliable, repeatable results in critical applications.
Assemblies
We provide sub-assembly and full assembly solutions in a controlled environment, integrating machined and cold-formed parts. This streamlines supply chains, reduces costs, and ensures quality compliance for sectors like aerospace and automotive.
Copper Machining
Specialising in copper machining, we produce conductive, durable parts for electrical and thermal applications. With over 50 years of experience, our processes optimise performance in power distribution and electronics industries.
Tooling Design
Our tooling design utilises DEFORM simulation to create efficient, durable tools for cold forming and machining. This reduces lead times and costs while ensuring precision, supporting clients in achieving optimal manufacturing outcomes.
