Services
Laser Cutting
Our laser cutting services utilise advanced Amada and Trumpf machinery to deliver high-precision cuts in sheet metal up to 3mm thick. This non-contact process ensures minimal material distortion and exceptional accuracy for complex designs. Ideal for aerospace and industrial applications requiring tight tolerances.
Metal Pressings
We produce custom metal pressings using high-tonnage hydraulic and mechanical presses, including Stanco and AIDA models. This process enables efficient forming of intricate shapes in mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Widely used in defense and rail sectors for durable components.
Welding
Our 6-axis robotic MIG/TIG welding cell ensures consistent, high-quality welds for complex assemblies. Complemented by spot welding and CD studwelding capabilities, this service supports aerospace and medical sectors requiring structural integrity and precision.
Assembly
From single components to complete systems, our assembly services integrate fabricated parts into finished products. This includes mechanical fastening, adhesive bonding, and sub-assembly integration for electronics and industrial equipment.
Finishing
We offer powder coating, wet painting, beadblasting, and shotblasting to enhance durability and aesthetics. These processes ensure corrosion resistance and a professional finish for components used in harsh environments.

Well. The receptionist Emily has obviously been trained in customer service by the devil himself. Calling in regards to some work I needed doing and was recommended the business by a customer of mine from the north. Was only given a business name so went onto company check to find a name to ask for and found John Duffy. Emily told me that the company lied on company check and that his name isn't john so that they know who cold calls them. Very strange. Emily then went on to tell me that he isn't in till Tuesday but he probably wont want to speak to me. What a wonderful women.
