Services
CNC Precision Machining
Our CNC machining facilities in the UK and Dubai offer complete component manufacture and repair services. Utilising advanced lathes and machining centres, we produce components up to 850mm diameter and 4m length. Our capabilities span from single prototypes to large batch production across multiple industry sectors.
Thermal Spray Coating
We apply high-performance coatings using HVOF, Plasma, Combustion and Arc spray processes. Our solutions enhance component resistance to wear, heat and corrosion using carbides, ceramics and metal alloys. Dedicated acoustic booths and robotic manipulation ensure precise coating application for critical industrial components.
Laser Cladding
Our laser cladding services create metallurgical bonds for enhanced component surfaces. This precision process deposits material layer-by-layer to improve wear resistance and repair damaged components. Integrated with our engineering expertise, it extends service life for aerospace and industrial applications.
Precision Grinding
We offer cylindrical, internal and super-finishing grinding services to exacting tolerances. Our diamond and grit grinding equipment, combined with German super-finishing technology, ensures precise dimensional accuracy and surface finishes for coated and machined components across all industry sectors.
Metallurgical Testing
Our in-house metallurgical laboratory conducts comprehensive testing including hardness, porosity and bond strength analysis. We perform corrosion and gas testing to international standards, providing full inspection reports that verify coating and component compliance with customer specifications.
