Services
Precision Metal Pressings
We manufacture high-precision metal pressings using advanced hydraulic and mechanical presses. Our capabilities include zinc-plated and stainless steel components for furniture, lighting, and industrial applications. With presses ranging from 7 to 80 tonnes, we handle both small batches and large-volume production while maintaining strict quality control.
Welding Services
Our welding solutions encompass MIG and TIG welding for structural components and custom fabrications. We specialise in creating durable welded assemblies for industrial door parts and bird control systems. All welds meet industry standards for strength and finish quality, with optional post-weld finishing treatments available.
Toolmaking Facility
We design and produce custom tooling for volume production of metal components. Our toolmaking service supports clients requiring dedicated dies for consistent part manufacturing. This in-house capability ensures precise dimensional accuracy and compatibility with our press equipment for optimal production efficiency.
Assembly Work
Our assembly services combine machined parts into complete units ready for market. We handle complex multi-component assemblies including packaging solutions tailored to client specifications. This service reduces supply chain complexity by providing finished products directly from our facility.
Finishing Processes
We offer comprehensive finishing options including vibratory polishing, ball burnishing, and linishing. These processes enhance component aesthetics and durability while meeting industry-specific surface finish requirements. Our finishing capabilities ensure consistent quality across all production batches.
