Services
Steel Fabrication
Transforming steel sheets and plates into precision components using advanced fabrication techniques. Our 3,200m facility handles projects from single components to large-scale production runs. Combining 50+ years of expertise with ISO-certified quality systems to deliver reliable solutions for industrial and defence applications.
Laser Cutting
High-accuracy cutting of steel and metals up to 25mm thickness using 10kW fibre laser technology. Automated systems ensure consistent quality while reducing lead times. Capable of processing materials up to 6000mm x 1500mm for complex industrial components.
Press Brake Forming
CNC-controlled press brakes shaping steel from 1mm to 25mm thickness. Equipment ranging from 80 to 400 tonnes handles simple bends to complex 3D formations. CAD engineers verify tolerances to ensure dimensional accuracy for critical applications.
Robotic MIG Welding
High-volume welding using robotic systems combined with manual expertise for speciality applications. Certified to ISO9606-1 standards for structural and defence components. Capable of handling production runs in thousands or custom large-scale assemblies.
Industrial Coatings
Comprehensive post-production treatments including galvanising, powder coating, and heat treatment. Protective finishes enhance component durability in harsh environments. Processes meet specifications for infrastructure and defence sector requirements.
Questions
Do you handle one-off custom fabrication projects?
We specialise in supply-chain component manufacturing and only produce prototypes with volume orders.
What accreditations do you hold?
We maintain ISO9001 quality accreditation since 1997 and ISO9606-1 welding accreditation since 2024.
Can you fabricate stainless steel components?
Yes, we weld mild steel, high-tensile metals, and stainless steel using MIG, TIG, and Flux Core methods.
What lead times should I expect?
Typical lead times range from 6-12 weeks depending on project complexity and volume.
Do you offer protective metal coatings?
Yes, we provide galvanising, powder coating, zinc plating, and other industrial finishing services.
