Services
Fitting
Our fully trained engineers deliver precision machine fitting and assembly services, from simple components to complex bespoke builds. We utilise CAD design and advanced machinery to ensure perfect fit and functionality, offering complete build solutions from concept to installation. With expertise in servo controls, motors, and pneumatic systems, we handle chassis, sheet metal fabrications, and repair/refurbishment projects across multiple industries.
Machining
We offer manual and CNC machining capabilities for precision components, including milling, turning, and multi-axis operations. Our services cover prototyping, small batches, and mass production using advanced lathes and mills. With grinding, wire erosion, and surface finishing options, we produce high-tolerance parts for diverse sectors while maintaining strict quality standards and cost efficiency.
Welding & Fabrication
Specialising in TIG and MIG welding, we deliver stainless steel and aluminium fabrications for industrial applications. Our dedicated workshops handle ferrous and non-ferrous metals, offering colour cleaning, polishing, and bead blasting finishes. From one-off projects to batch production, we combine skilled welders with advanced equipment to produce durable, precision-engineered metal structures and components.
Profiling & Folding
Using Bystronic laser and Flow waterjet systems, we provide precision profiling for flat and tubular components. Our folding capabilities handle prototypes to batch work, with surface finishing options including plating, powder coating, and bead blasting. This service reduces machining time and material waste while delivering complex shapes and custom finishes for industrial applications.
Site Work
We offer on-site installation, repair, and commissioning of industrial equipment with flexible working hours to minimise downtime. Our engineers provide 24-hour mechanical breakdown support and general engineering solutions for food production lines, machinery maintenance, and equipment modifications across the UK and Europe.
