ISO 9001

Correct material selection is essential to successful performance. 

Specialising in precision parts from "one-off" prototyping to full, high volume production runs, our extensive CNC milling and turning experience will enable you to discuss and choose the right material for your particular application.

Design consultations combined with our comprehensive range of materials and knowledge of their chemical, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties ensures your product is well designed from the outset.
