Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling services produce complex components using state-of-the-art Hurco technology. We achieve tight tolerances for aerospace and defence applications through advanced machining capabilities. Clients benefit from consistent quality in prototype and batch production.
5 Axis Milling
Utilising Hurco 5-axis CNC centres, we manufacture precision parts with continuous path contouring. This reduces setup changes while maintaining tight tolerances for complex aerospace components and Formula 1 parts requiring high accuracy.
CNC Turning
Operating 10 CNC turning centres, we deliver high-volume engineered components. Our processes balance efficiency with quality assurance for communication infrastructure parts and defence sector components needing exact specifications.
Engineering Assembly
We provide mechanical and electro-mechanical assembly services including soldering, riveting, and connector assembly. Our bench work capabilities support aerospace systems and high-performance racing vehicle components with strict compliance standards.
Quality Control
Our ISO 9001-certified quality control uses online CMM inspection and CAD stations. We ensure traceability across all production stages, maintaining consistency for critical defence systems and satellite propulsion components.
