Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining service produces high-precision components using advanced milling and turning tools. We handle both prototyping and high-volume orders, maintaining tight tolerances and ISO 9001 compliance. Clients benefit from rapid turnaround times and in-house material stock for urgent projects.
Fabrication and Welding
We offer complete fabrication solutions including coded welding for architectural and marine applications. Utilising CNC cutting and 3D CAD design, our team creates bespoke metal structures with ISO-certified quality assurance and MTC 3.1 documentation when required.
CNC Waterjet Cutting
Our CNC waterjet cutting achieves precision up to 150mm thickness for materials like ceramics and plastics. This cold-cutting process eliminates heat distortion, ideal for temperature-sensitive applications while maintaining consistent quality across batch productions.
Metal Polishing
Professional metal polishing services create mirror or brushed finishes for architectural, marine, and hygienic applications. Our workshop meets ISO standards for food production and pharmaceutical equipment finishing with optional 3.1 certification.
Plasma Profile Cutting
Precision plasma cutting for steel and aluminium up to 50mm thickness. This high-speed solution maintains accuracy for structural components and industrial projects, complementing our fabrication services with rapid production capabilities.
