Services
Design Consultation
Our engineers collaborate with clients to develop and optimise designs for manufacturing efficiency. Using advanced software, we provide technical support from concept to prototype, ensuring cost-effective production while maintaining structural integrity and functional requirements.
Hi-Def Laser Cutting
Advanced laser cutting systems with automated nesting software maximise material utilisation while achieving superior cut quality. This technology enables precise profiling of complex shapes in various metal thicknesses, meeting exacting industry standards for component accuracy.
CNC Pressbrake
350-tonne CNC pressbrake capabilities allow precision folding of metal sheets up to 20mm thickness and 4300mm length. Automated crowning systems compensate for material variations, ensuring dimensional accuracy in components requiring tight tolerances for industrial applications.
Welding & Fabrication
BSEN287-1-certified welders produce high-quality assemblies using MIG, TIG, and MMA welding techniques. Our production lines handle both bespoke projects and mass production runs, maintaining consistent quality through documented welding procedures and inspection protocols.
Surface Finishing
Comprehensive surface treatment options include powder coating, wet painting, and galvanising. Our shot blasting and rubber lining services provide enhanced durability for components operating in abrasive environments, extending product lifespan in demanding industrial conditions.
