Precision Engineering Solutions in Tewkesbury
Established in 1970, we are a family-owned precision engineering business based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Our expertise lies in machining exotic materials using advanced CNC milling and lathe production techniques, supported by 5-axis mill turning machinery. Certified to BSI ISO 9001 2015 standards, we serve industries including aerospace, oil, mining, electronics, and medical sectors. Our 14,500 sq ft facility houses cutting-edge technology such as Mazak, Miyano, and Mori Seiki equipment, ensuring high-precision components with tolerances measured in microns. With a skilled workforce trained through our apprenticeship programme since 1979, we deliver both prototype and volume production.Our capabilities extend to design for manufacturing, stock holding, and full assembly services. We specialise in challenging materials like titanium, inconel, and beryllium copper, offering turnkey solutions through approved vendors for processes including heat treatment and non-destructive testing. Our commitment to zero defects is supported by a fully equipped inspection department featuring coordinate measuring machines and digital measuring systems. As a family business, we prioritise integrity, long-term relationships, and continuous improvement to exceed customer expectations.

Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services utilise advanced machinery to produce complex components with tolerances measured in microns. Capable of handling both prototype and volume production, we work with standard and exotic materials including titanium and inconel. The service includes design for manufacturing support using CAD/CAM software to optimise part geometry and production efficiency.
Exotic Material Machining
We specialise in machining challenging materials such as beryllium copper, duplex steel, and toughmet. Our expertise extends to material handling, tooling selection, and process optimisation for exotic alloys. This service includes full traceability documentation and compliance with industry-specific standards for aerospace and oil sector applications.
Inspection Services
Our inspection department features coordinate measuring machines and digital measuring systems for dimensional verification. Certified to ISO 9001 standards, we provide first-article inspection reports and in-process quality checks. The service supports zero-defect manufacturing through statistical process control and non-conformance resolution.
Design for Manufacturing
We offer design for manufacturing support to improve part manufacturability and reduce production costs. Using CAD/CAM software, our engineers analyse part geometry for tool access, material efficiency, and process integration. This service includes prototype validation and production-ready design modifications.
Assembly Services
Our assembly services combine machined components into complete sub-assemblies. Capable of handling complex valve systems and electronic enclosures, we provide kitting, torque-controlled fastening, and functional testing. The service includes inventory management and just-in-time delivery options for production lines.
