Precision Machining
Our precision machining services utilise advanced CNC equipment to produce complex components with tolerances measured in microns. Specialising in exotic materials like Inconel and Titanium, we deliver critical parts for high-stakes applications in Oil & Gas and Nuclear sectors. Our 49,000 sqft facility houses multi-axis machines capable of handling components up to 6.3 tonnes, supported by comprehensive quality assurance processes.
Exotic Material Machining
We specialise in machining challenging materials including Super Duplex, Hastelloy, and Kovar that require specific tooling and expertise. Our team's experience with these materials ensures optimal cutting parameters and surface finishes, meeting the exacting requirements of defence and aerospace applications. Full material traceability documentation accompanies every component we produce.
Quality Assurance
Our quality systems combine ISO 9001-certified processes with state-of-the-art inspection equipment, including five CNC CMMs and hardness testers. Temperature-controlled environments ensure measurement accuracy, while our SEIKI data system provides full production traceability. This rigorous approach maintains our 99.8% on-time delivery performance across critical industries.
Global Supply Chain
We support global operations through established logistics networks exporting to Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific and North America. Our scheduling systems optimise production for tight deadlines while maintaining ISO-certified quality standards. This capability enables us to serve multinational OEMs with consistent component supply across multiple regions.
