The investment casting process is used to make a variety of products, spanning many industries.
Our centre of UK operations is a purpose-built 20,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility based in Ilfracombe, Devon.
Rapid prototyping has the advantage of enabling short product runs, thereby significantly reducing cost.
One of only a few UK foundries that offers our customers the services of an on-site tool room facility.
Many treatments are available from rust protection to a complete corrosion resistant polish.
Heat treatment is a critical stage of the process that enhances the mechanical properties of any material.
Our precision machining facilities provide CNC and manual milling, surface grinding, turning and drilling.

The pressure die casting process has the main advantage of excellent process repeatability.
Tremendous pressure is exerted on the tool steel, forcing the alloy to take the shape of the tooling.
Water glass cast components are used when stronger, more complex shapes are required.
Permanent mould or Gravity Die Casting (GDC) is a repeatable casting process used for non-ferrous alloy parts.
Sand casting is a casting process where the molten metal is poured into a mould made of sand.
