Services
Laser Cutting
Our laser cutting service delivers high-precision metal fabrication with tolerances up to 0.1mm. Using advanced CO2 laser technology, we cut complex shapes in steel, aluminium, and polycarbonate materials. This non-contact process ensures clean edges and minimal material distortion for components used in engineering and signage applications.
Vehicle Signage
We create full-vehicle wraps and bespoke signage solutions that transform commercial vehicles into mobile advertisements. Our UV-resistant inks and durable vinyl materials withstand UK weather conditions while maintaining vibrant visuals. Installation is completed by our certified fitters with minimal vehicle downtime.
Graphic Overlays
Manufacturing reverse polycarbonate graphic overlays certified by Underwriters Laboratory. These durable control panels resist abrasion and chemicals, featuring multi-layer constructions with tactile feedback options. Suitable for industrial equipment and medical devices requiring long-term reliability.
Surface Finishing
Through our sister company Hanman Surface Technology, we offer stove enamelling, powder coating, and specialist finishes including PTFE non-stick coatings. Our 40-year expertise handles everything from single prototypes to batch production, with treatments for metal, plastic, and wooden substrates.
CNC Machining
Precision CNC machining services for one-off prototypes and production runs. Our computer-controlled milling and turning centres produce complex components to 0.05mm tolerances. Materials include aluminium alloys, engineering plastics, and stainless steel for sectors requiring exacting dimensional accuracy.
