In the last 6 months we have added a Large Dugard 2200x1000x1000 CNC milling machine to our capacity list and have just taken delivery of a Mazak 35Y CNC Lathe (Capable of turning  550 Ø x 1500mm). All of this, coupled with having bought another Bridgeport CNC machine and an OMAX Precision Waterjet Cutter within the last 18 months, demonstrates our vision in investing into the business to help us grow forward along with the manufacturing industry.

We are a small, friendly, family run engineering company and have been since 1973, the kind of engineering company that you was typical all over great Britain in the 60’s & 70’s.

We are especially known for our work with 2 different types of material, Acrylic & Acetal. We specialize in this area along with Brass..

We are experienced in development work, in the medical gas sector,  we design and produce various leak detectors and flow regulators for medical oxygen.

Our main skill set is in bespoke plastic Engineering but are always happy to work in other Engineering materials. everything we make is by hand from Raw material to finished product, using digital manual lathes and milling machines, we are always happy to quote on small orders and one of parts up to large orders. As a Relatively small company our flexibility is key for us and in our approach to getting the job done,  if possible we can turn jobs around in 24hrs, we don't overload ourselves with work or make promises we can't keep, we feel it's important to focus 100% in the job in hand not several jobs at once which is why our finished products are always 100%.

Polishing is something else we specialise.
