Services
Conventional Engineering
We provide precision conventional machining services including turning, milling, drilling, and boring. Our experienced engineers work to exact specifications for prototype development and production runs. This service supports industries requiring high-accuracy components with tight tolerances.
Computerised Engineering
Our computer numerical control (CNC) machining delivers advanced precision engineering solutions. Using modern software-controlled systems, we produce complex components with exceptional accuracy. This service caters to industries needing automated, repeatable manufacturing processes.
Bespoke Machine Building
We design and construct custom-engineered machinery to meet specific client requirements. Our team develops tailored solutions for unique production challenges. This service includes complete machine integration and commissioning at client facilities.
Spark Erosion
Our spark erosion (electrical discharge machining) capabilities produce complex shapes in conductive materials. This non-contact process achieves fine details and tight tolerances. We use this technology for tooling, dies, and precision components across multiple sectors.
Reelstand Recycling
The Reelstand Recycler separates paper from cores for recycling. This machine enables printing companies to monetise waste materials. It improves environmental performance while offering potential 12-month return on investment through material savings.
