IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES
Pressed Steel & Aluminium
Steel and aluminium pressing is a manufacturing process used to shape and form metal sheets into specific structures or products. This method is used to create a range of ironmongery products, such as Tee Hinges.
Forged Steel & Brass
Steel and brass forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping metal by applying compressive forces through the use of dies and presses or hammers.
Casting
Metal casting is a manufacturing process where molten metal is poured into a mould made of sand, ceramic, or metal, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and allowed to solidify. This is used to create a variety of iron hardware.
Thread Rolling
Thread rolling is a cold-forming process used to create threads on the outer surface of metal parts. Unlike cutting or grinding, where material is removed to form threads, thread rolling displaces the material to shape the thread profile. Usually used to create Threaded Bar.
Wire Forming
Wire forming is a manufacturing process that involves shaping wire into specific configurations and geometries using a variety of techniques such as bending, cutting, drawing, and stretching. This has been used to create a range of Engineered Fasteners.
Injection Moulding
Injection moulding is a manufacturing process used to produce plastic parts by injecting molten material into a cavity. Injection moulding is highly versatile and used to manufacture a wide range of products, from small precision components to large automotive parts.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a dry finishing process used to apply a durable and decorative finish to metal and other surfaces. It offers several advantages over traditional liquid painting methods, including durability, resistance to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion. Used on a variety of black ironmongery.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a precise method of cutting a design from a given material using a CAD file to guide it. This allows for custom designs to be easily produced. This process involves focusing a high-powered laser beam onto the material's surface leaving an edge with a high-quality finish.
