Services
Sheet Metal Fabrication
We provide comprehensive sheet metal fabrication services using advanced machinery and ISO9001-certified processes. Our capabilities include precision cutting, bending, and assembly for custom components ranging from simple brackets to complex industrial systems. Materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, and galvanised zintec are processed to meet exact specifications, ensuring durability and accuracy for diverse applications across multiple industries.
CAD/CAM Design
Our CAD/CAM design services utilise SolidWorks software to create detailed 3D models for visualisation and prototyping. This technology enables clients to review designs before production, reducing costs and streamlining the manufacturing process. We specialise in translating conceptual ideas into precise digital models, ensuring accurate execution during fabrication for both single components and large-scale projects.
Presswork Production
We offer high-speed presswork production using advanced power presses to create complex metal stampings and pressings. This process allows for efficient bulk manufacturing of custom parts with tight tolerances and consistent quality. Our capabilities include forming intricate patterns and shapes in various materials, supporting industries requiring durable components for agricultural, industrial, and security applications.
Surface Finishing
Our surface finishing options include powder coating, anodising, painting, and polishing to enhance product durability and aesthetics. These treatments protect against corrosion and wear while providing customised appearances to meet client specifications. We apply finishes to steel, stainless steel, and aluminium components, ensuring compatibility with environmental and functional requirements for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Custom Enclosures
We design and manufacture custom enclosures for electrical, medical, and industrial equipment using precision fabrication techniques. Our enclosures offer secure housing for sensitive components, with options for ventilation, locking mechanisms, and custom dimensions. From IP-rated electrical boxes to bespoke storage units, we deliver tailored solutions that combine functionality with robust construction for commercial and industrial environments.

Excellent service, product, quality and best value for money. I order a Large Custome Key Cabinet from A&R Engineering and recived my delivery today. It took 4 weeks which they mention when I made the order and to be honest I even received key safe earlier. The service and product was excellent. Highly trustable and recommended for anyone looking any service they provide.
