Processing & Fabrication

Our processing facilities provide considerable benefits to our customers including minimum lead times, reduced hidden costs, no need for stock-holding and lower costs through us optimising our machine utilisation.

We have extensive facilities across all of our Service Centres through which we can supply more finished components, thereby freeing up our customers to focus on their specific contribution to adding value through manufacturing. The front-end operations are often the least profitable so by taking engineering raw materials already cut to size, with specific finishing and coating, our customers can undertake the more complex and profitable manufacturing processes.
