Applications
Our extensive experience covers designing and manufacturing electrical and electromechanical connectors including crimp, plug, flat tail, tapped hole, and threaded post terminations, ensuring high-quality, reliable solutions tailored to your needs.
With over 80 years of experience in the aerospace sector, we specialise in manufacturing components for piston and jet engines, braking and undercarriage systems, flight surface controls, and cabin environment devices.
Our expertise in precision cold forming and machining enables engine, chassis, and drivetrain manufacturers for both cars and commercial vehicles to maximise the performance and efficiency of key components.
Precision, miniaturisation, quality, and traceability are crucial in manufacturing medical equipment components. We adhere to the highest standards, utilising dedicated clean rooms and production cells.
We provide high-power connectors made from oxygen-free, high-conductivity materials, essential for minimising power losses in generation and distribution applications.
By combining our cold forming and machining expertise, we ensure that production equipment such as lasers, plasmas, and welding systems will consistently deliver sub-micron accuracy.
