Production Runs
Repeat orders are what we do best.
If you make products, fit out shops or supply retail, send us your standard parts once and reorder whenever you need them. That suits batches of 50 or 500. Repeat runs get you consistent parts, quick turnaround and better pricing the more you order. Ask about setting up a regular order.
Services
Laser cutting
We cut steel, stainless and non-ferrous parts on a 4kW fibre laser with a 3 x 1.5m bed. Brackets, panels, gussets, base plates, product parts: from one sheet to hundreds.
CNC bending
Two 150-tonne CNC press brakes bend your parts right after cutting. One supplier, one lead time, and parts that arrive ready to assemble.
Other services
Beyond cutting and bending, we can also handle: eccentric presses, drilling, tapping, welding, laser welding, rolling, guillotining and deburring. Ask us when you send your drawings.
