Based in Manchester, Sheffield, Rotherham in South Yorkshire, and Warminster in Wiltshire. We originally set up to provide certified castings and forgings to the railway industry.
Since then, the company has diversified and now additionally supplies the Defence, Petrochemical and Process industries. We are now able to offer procurement of ingot sizes of 1.5 tonnes upwards on materials that are generally difficult to obtain.
All our products are produced and certified to the latest modern standards that can be cross referenced back to original specifications if replication is desired, together with a full audit trail.
Products can be supplied cast or forged, proof machined and ultrasonic tested, bulk machined or finish machined as desired.
