CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services produce components to within five microns of accuracy using advanced Mazak, Haas, and Hardinge equipment. We handle metals like aluminium, stainless steel, and exotic alloys for industries requiring tight tolerances. With ISO 9001:2015-certified processes, we ensure quality from prototyping to large-scale production.
Subcontract Machining
We provide end-to-end subcontract machining for small batches or high-volume orders. Our capabilities include 4-axis lathes, sliding head CNC machines, and manual lathes. Clients benefit from Kan-Ban inventory systems, next-day delivery, and traceable raw materials meeting aerospace and defense standards.
Surface Treatments
We coordinate anodising, plating, powder coating, and heat treatment through trusted partners. All finishes come with Certificates of Conformity. Our team ensures treatments align with drawing specifications, including Alocrom 1000, hard anodise, and non-destructive testing for critical components.
Quality Assurance
Our quality processes include first-article inspections, statistical process control, and calibrated equipment like Keyence IM series and Mitutoyo SPC systems. Final components receive Certificates of Conformity, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001:2015 and customer-specific requirements.
Kan-Ban Stocking
We offer Kan-Ban systems for efficient inventory control, reducing lead times and storage costs. This service ensures components are available when needed, supported by real-time order tracking and global courier networks for just-in-time delivery.
