Core Processes:
Stainless Steel Castings
Lost wax investment casting in stainless steel for pressure-bearing applications. PED-certified foundries, full material traceability.
Learn more →Aluminium Gravity Die Castings
Gravity die castings in aluminium alloy for pressure-bearing and structural applications. PED 2014/68/EU certified. Grades include LM25 (A356), LM6, LM9 and other EN 1706 alloys. Full chemical and mechanical certification supplied with every batch.
Learn more →High Pressure Die Casting
Aluminium HPDC for high-volume, thin-wall, net-shape components — A380, 383, ADC12, LM24 and other workhorse alloys. Wall sections from 1.0 mm, excellent as-cast surface finish, suited to housings, brackets, heat sinks and enclosures. Non-PED.
Learn more →Resin Sand Ductile Iron Castings
Ductile iron castings in furan resin-bonded sand moulds (no-bake). Pump and valve bodies, housings, brackets and general machinery castings from a few kilograms to around 1 tonne. Grey iron on the same lines. Full supply chain from pattern to machined, certified component.
Learn more →CNC Machining
Precision CNC milling, turning, grinding and drilling to tight tolerances. We machine cast and fabricated components to drawing, including close-fit bores, threaded features and sealing faces. ISO 9001:2015 quality system, CMM inspection available.

Quality Assurance and Control:
ISO 9001:2015 & PED
All nodes in our supply chain are ISO 9001:2015 certified as a minimum. Foundries are PED-certified.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
X-ray, CT scanning, and ultrasonic testing are used to detect internal voids, porosity, or inclusions without destroying the part.
Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT)
Dye penetrant testing is used to detect surface-breaking defects in materials.
Pressure Testing
Pressure testing can be used to check for leaks or structural integrity.
Material Testing
Spectrometry and other material analysis techniques are used to ensure quality and compliance.
Cryogenic Testing
Specialized testing at -196 °C for components subjected to extreme cold temperatures.
