Precision Sheet Metal Engineering Since 1962
Established in 1962, our company has evolved from a small workshop into one of Scotland's leading suppliers of precision-engineered sheet metal components. Our journey began in Cowdenbeath before relocating to a purpose-built 20,000 sq ft facility in Kirkcaldy in 1990, where we continue to uphold the values of quality and reliability established by founder James C James C Gillespie. Our team combines decades of engineering expertise with cutting-edge technology, including advanced CNC laser cutting systems and robotic welding capabilities, to deliver exceptional metalwork solutions. We specialise in transforming raw materials into precision-engineered products through processes such as laser cutting, CNC punching, and complex welding operations. Our technical capabilities extend to working with metals up to 20mm thickness while maintaining exceptionally tight tolerances.By integrating cable assembly services with our core metal fabrication, we provide comprehensive solutions that optimise both direct and indirect client costs. Our commitment to innovation ensures we remain at the forefront of precision engineering while maintaining the highest standards of workmanship. With over 60 years of industry experience, we have built enduring partnerships through consistent delivery of technically demanding projects. Our ISO 9001 certification reflects our rigorous quality management systems and dedication to continuous improvement. Clients benefit from our technical consultancy during design phases, ensuring optimal manufacturability and cost-efficiency. This combination of heritage, expertise, and technological investment positions us as trusted partners for precision engineering requirements across diverse sectors.

Services
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Transforming flat metal sheets into precision components through cutting, punching, folding, and assembly processes. Our expertise covers steel, aluminium, and stainless steel materials up to 20mm thickness. Clients benefit from technically complex solutions with exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
CNC Laser Cutting
High-precision metal cutting using 4KW/5KW Trumpf laser systems. Our computer-guided technology achieves tight tolerances and clean edges requiring minimal post-processing. This non-contact method ensures consistent quality across complex geometries and diverse material types.
CNC Punching
Computer-controlled punching operations creating precise holes and shapes in metal sheets. Our Trumpf 3000R machine handles simple to complex forms including countersinks, louvres, and dimples. This high-speed process maintains accuracy while reducing production costs.
Welding & Fabrication
Combining MIG, TIG, spot welding, and robotic welding capabilities for structural and aesthetic applications. Our EN ISO 9606-1 2017 certified welders produce strong, visually clean joints. Robotic systems ensure repeatable quality for complex shapes and high-volume production.
