On target to significantly increase the UK’s hot isostatic pressing capacity, Wallwork Group is looking forward to greeting current and new customers alike at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2024 taking place 6-8 February at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre (Stand B200). Extensive thermal processing facilities in Cambridge, Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle, are accessible nationally via the company’s own secure and dedicated commercial transport fleet.

Group Director Simeon Collins said: “Given relatively high energy costs, this has been a challenging time for the heat treatment industry. We are so proud that Wallwork has the resilience to overcome these and continue to invest in additional plasma-nitriding capacity and introduce a completely new 2,500m² HIP centre.”

Wallwork provides a full range of heat treatments, PVD and PVECD coatings, plasma nitriding, vacuum carburising, and vacuum brazing, and the company maintains in-house, well-equipped, UKAS certified, mechanical testing laboratories. Its research and development teams work closely with manufacturers to create unique surface treatments in aerospace, automotive, motorsport, medical, oil and gas and other industrial sectors.

With Nadcap and multiple aerospace prime accreditations, customers really appreciate the full end-to-end experience that Wallwork provides which is only possible as so many services are accessible from just the one supplier. As a 100% UK-owned company, ITAR compliance is also an important consideration for some manufacturers.
