Your Trusted Metal Fabrication Partner in Kent
Established in 1989, we are a family-owned and operated metal fabrication specialist based in Aylesford, Kent. With over 30 years of experience and a team of 25 skilled professionals, we provide end-to-end manufacturing solutions for sheet metal and powder-coated products. Our capabilities span from initial design and CAD development to precision engineering, welding, and finishing under one roof. Utilising state-of-the-art CNC machinery and dual-pulse welding technology, we deliver custom enclosures, cabinets, and components for industries including telecommunications, rail, automotive, and utilities. Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated through projects like London Underground's 3G connectivity enclosures, which required pioneering vibration-resistant designs. We maintain full quality control through in-house testing for ingress protection, vibration, and impact, complemented by partnerships with independent test houses.Our 'lights-out' automated production ensures 24/7 manufacturing efficiency, while our 6-metre powder coating capacity handles large-scale projects. With a client base ranging from SMEs to blue-chip companies like Virgin Media and Ericsson, we combine technical expertise with cost-effective solutions. Our engineering team specialises in material selection, design optimisation, and reverse engineering from samples, ensuring both functional excellence and environmental considerations. As a UK manufacturer, we offer rapid response times and supply chain advantages over international competitors, supported by comprehensive customer service from concept to delivery.

Services
Sheet Metal Fabrication
We provide complete sheet metal fabrication from prototype to mass production. Our capabilities include laser cutting, CNC punching, and precision bending using Amada equipment. With 30+ years' experience, we produce complex enclosures and components for telecoms, rail, and industrial sectors. Our engineers work with client CAD files or develop designs from concepts, ensuring optimal material use and structural integrity.
Powder Coating
Our in-house powder coating facility handles items up to 6 metres long. We operate chemical dip tanks, spray booths, and curing ovens to deliver durable, corrosion-resistant finishes. This vertical integration ensures quality control and faster turnaround compared to outsourced finishing. We offer RAL colour matching and specialist coatings for industrial environments.
Enclosure Manufacturing
We design and manufacture custom enclosures for electrical, telecoms, and data infrastructure. Our IP-rated cabinets meet ingress protection, vibration, and fire safety standards. Notable projects include London Underground's vibration-tested enclosures and submarine-technology cable housings. We incorporate security features, cable management systems, and maintenance-friendly designs.
Automated Production
Our automated CNC systems enable 24/7 production runs using Amada Vipros punch presses and press brakes. This 'lights-out' capability ensures consistent quality and on-time delivery for large orders. The facility maintains precision tolerances while handling peak demand periods without compromising turnaround times.
In-House Testing
We conduct comprehensive testing for ingress protection, vibration resistance, and structural integrity in our dedicated facility. This includes IP67 certification processes and load-bearing assessments. When required, we partner with independent test houses to validate compliance with industry-specific standards like RIA 20 Part 2 for railway applications.
