Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning capabilities produce components from bar stock up to 78mm diameter and billet diameters up to 280mm. Using advanced machinery ensures tight tolerances and superior surface finishes. In-house production guarantees quality control and timely delivery for both prototyping and large-scale orders.
Aerospace Components
We manufacture bespoke aerospace components from aviation-grade metals and engineering plastics. Compliance with AS9100 standards and NADCAP-approved testing ensures reliability. Materials include titanium alloys, stainless steel, and magnetic cobalt/nickel alloys for critical aircraft systems.
Design Optimisation
Our engineers advise on design-for-manufacture principles to reduce costs and improve performance. With expertise in material selection and machining feasibility, we collaborate during prototyping stages. This service enhances production efficiency while maintaining structural integrity for complex components.
Inventory Management
We implement JIT, Kan Ban, and Pull Control systems for efficient inventory management. These solutions reduce holding costs while ensuring timely delivery. Tailored call-off agreements meet individual customer production schedules without compromising supply chain reliability.
NADCAP-Approved Testing
All aerospace components undergo independent test house validation with full material certification. Subcontract processes use NADCAP-approved facilities for non-destructive testing and metallurgical analysis. This ensures compliance with industry-specific quality assurance requirements for mission-critical applications.
