Quality-focused cutting and fabrication.
Materials we laser cut.
We laser cut S275 and S355 steel from 0.8mm to 25mm, Cor-ten steel from 0.8mm to 6mm, DX51 pre-galvanised sheet from 0.8mm to 4mm, stainless steel from 0.8mm to 25mm, aluminium from 0.8mm to 30mm, copper from 0.8mm to 15mm, and brass from 0.8mm to 12mm.
Fibre laser cutting.
We use fibre optic laser systems because they offer high power with lower energy use than older CO₂ machines. The result is fast, cost-effective metal cutting with the efficiency benefits passed on to customers. Fibre laser technology is designed for metals, so we do not cut wood or plastics.

Light Mount Brackets
A repeat batch order — 300 light mount brackets for a customer who fits them to trailers on their vehicle assembly line. Because these parts feed straight into a moving assembly process, every bracket in the batch needed to come out identical.

Water Feature Tank
Our customer is an independent fabricator without their own cutting or bending equipment, so they subcontracted the metalwork for a water feature tank out to us. They needed two tanks cut and formed accurately, ready for them to weld up and install.
