2D & 3D CAD / Nesting / Optimisation
Every project begins with your design intent. Using 2D and 3D CAD nesting software and fabrication ready detailing, we optimise materials and layouts before production begins ensuring accuracy, efficiency and a seamless transition into manufacture.
De-coil / Shear / Punch / Laser / Waterjet
Part of our custom metal fabrication process, our blanking and profiling equipment delivers high-accuracy metal cutting across a wide range of sheet materials and thicknesses, including aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel, copper, zinc and titanium.
Press Brake
Using press brakes of varying sizes and tonnages, we form materials to meet exact project requirements. This metal forming capability supports both one-off orders and batch production, ensuring consistent results every time.
Cutting / Shaping / Rolling / Welding / Linishing
This is where ideas take form. Our team combine traditional craftsmanship with modern equipment to create complex assemblies, bespoke structures or repeated components, all delivered with consistency and care.

Pre-treatment / Powder Coating / Stoving
Our in-house paint line delivers high quality powder coated finishes in a wide range of RAL and bespoke colours. Applied for performance, durability and appearance, each finish is designed to stand the test of time.
Combine parts & components
We bring every element together. Our assembly process joins fabricated parts and components with accuracy and care, creating complete, ready to install products that meet your project requirements.
Adhesion / Press & Cure
Specialist bonding for multi-material or hybrid assemblies, ideal where welding isn’t suitable. This process allows for clean detailing in architectural, decorative or technical applications.
Packing / Palletising / Transport
Once your project is complete, we package, protect and ship it where it needs to go, whether it’s a single bespoke item or part of a phased construction delivery. Every order leaves our facility ready for a smooth handover.
