Continuous internal investment means we have a well equipped shop floor with machine centres and Inspection equipment to manufacture a broad range of quality parts to customer requirements. With CAD CAM capability as well as a trusted network of subcontract partners for processes such as heat treatment, plating etc we can offer a complete precision engineering service for low or high volume work.

For complex parts we have five Swiss made Mikron High Speed simultaneous 5 axis Machining Centres with capacity for 68 tools and palletisation for long runs and automated running. Together with our driven CMM and Nikon vision measurement system we can manufacture and measure the complex high precision parts that the Motorsport, Aerospace and Medical industries demand.
