Services
Steel Fabrication
We manufacture precision-engineered steel components for architectural and industrial applications. Our capabilities include structural frameworks, staircases, and bespoke brackets to exact specifications. With advanced cutting and welding facilities, we ensure dimensional accuracy and compliance with construction standards.
Aluminium Welding
Our TIG and MIG welding services handle aluminium, mild steel, and stainless steel with equal proficiency. Certified welders perform on-site and workshop joins for structural integrity and aesthetic finish. We maintain strict quality control for load-bearing and decorative applications.
Stainless Steel Cutting
Three automated band saws enable precise cutting of sections up to 600mm depth and 200mm diameter billets. Our Guillotine sheet cutter handles 8mm stainless steel, 12mm mild steel, and 16mm aluminium. We offer material cutting services for external clients with dimensional accuracy.
Press Brake Forming
Our 120-ton press brake forms metals up to 3000mm length with thickness capacities of 5mm mild steel, 4mm stainless steel, and 8mm aluminium. This enables production of complex profiles for structural and decorative applications with tight tolerances.
Balustrade Production
We design and fabricate custom balustrades combining steel, stainless steel, and glass elements. From initial consultation to installation, our team ensures compliance with safety regulations while maintaining aesthetic appeal for commercial and residential projects.
