A Significant factor in the requirement for speciality forging is the material procurement aspect, understanding the material specification and locating the correct size and grade is the key to meeting customer’s requirements.

We have years of experience in this material procurement and work in conjunction with Namtech using the worlds metals index to verify metal performance and certification which allows us to respond quickly with prices and availability of materials.

Die manufacture and maintenance is part of our extensive service package. A die storage facility enables us to provide industry leading in-house die making which aids in short lead times and affordable tooling for forged products.

At WHT fully integrated CAD/CAM packages link the product and die design to a high speed die sink using two Matsuura CM-series machining centres with the latest Hitachi cutting tool technology.
