Services
Metal Fabrication
Our metal fabrication service transforms steel and aluminium sheets into custom structures using MIG/TIG welding, aluminium, stainless steel, and stud welding techniques. With precision engineering and rapid turnaround, we produce components from single prototypes to large batches. Our CAD/CAM software ensures exact measurements and compatibility with client designs for accurate results.
Laser Cutting
Utilising Amada ENSIS 9kw fibre laser technology, we deliver high-speed, precise cutting of materials up to 30mm thick, including stainless steel, mild steel, and copper. This method enables complex designs without additional tools, ideal for prototypes and bespoke projects. Our system ensures superior quality with reduced gas consumption and enhanced processing stability for efficient production.
CNC Machining
Our Haas CNC machining centres provide high-precision milling, turning, and lathe services for complex components. With fast spindle speeds and automated tool changes, we achieve high-volume production while maintaining accuracy. This technology supports die sinking work and integrates seamlessly with our fabrication services to offer end-to-end manufacturing solutions under one roof.
Powder Coating
We offer durable, scratch-resistant powder coating and finishing services for metal products. Our capabilities include shot blasting, deburring, and application of multiple colour options for both large and intricate items. This process enhances product longevity while meeting aesthetic requirements for industrial and decorative applications.
CNC Punching
Our Amada Acute CNC punch press turret enables high-speed progressive forming with a 51-station turret for intricate layouts like perforations. This technology supports rapid production of high-quality components with etching capabilities, ensuring precision and consistency for complex metalwork requirements across various industries.
