Services
Precision Machining
We specialise in precision machining of large components and complex assemblies. Our capabilities include multi-axis machining, large bore processing, and intricate component manufacturing. Using both conventional and CNC equipment, we maintain tolerances within strict parameters for critical applications across multiple industries.
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services combine horizontal borers and vertical machining centres for complex geometries. With digital readout systems and ISO 9001 processes, we produce components requiring multiple operations in single setups. This reduces lead times while maintaining dimensional accuracy for demanding engineering applications.
Tool Making
We design and manufacture custom jigs and fixtures for welding, assembly, and machining operations. Our tooling solutions support manufacturers in commercial vehicle and heavy equipment sectors. These precision tools ensure consistent quality in production environments through repeatable processes and accurate component alignment.
Material Processing
We work with diverse materials including exotic metals like Incolloy and Duplex, non-ferrous alloys, and composites such as GRP. Our machining parameters are optimised for each material type, ensuring dimensional stability and surface finish quality while maintaining tool life and process efficiency.
Component Salvaging
Our MIG welding and re-machining capabilities restore damaged components to original specifications. This service extends equipment lifespan through precision rebuilding and dimensional restoration. We combine welding expertise with machining accuracy to recover high-value industrial parts cost-effectively.
