Founded in 1946, the company is a specialist contract metal spinner, supplying a range of components in mild steel, aluminium and various alloys.

It makes parts for many types of domestic appliance, plus catering equipment, light fittings, dust extraction and filtration equipment, heating and ventilating systems, lab test equipment and symphonic drainage.
