From the humble washer to high-precision machined components, our assurance remains

With the support of our manufacturing facilities and the suppliers in our distribution network, we hold one of the largest ranges of fasteners, mechanical and electro-mechanical components in the Far East — including the obscure items that prove difficult to source. Whatever the part, our assurance of quality is the same.

Fasteners

Our core range, held in depth and made to DIN, ISO, JIS and ANSI standards as well as to your own drawing. Carbon steel, stainless, brass and alloy, in the plating and finish your application calls for.

Cold Forging

Metal formed at room temperature into near-net shape. The grain flows rather than cuts, which gives a stronger part, a better surface and very little scrap. Our forging plants run 25,000 metric tonnes a year and are ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 accredited.

Hot Forging

Where the part is too large or too complex to form cold. Heating the billet allows deeper deformation and a wider choice of alloy, and gives the grain structure that load-bearing and safety-critical components need.

Precision Machining

CNC turning and milling to your drawing, at 25 million pieces a year. Our machining plant carries ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and IATF 16949, and holds the tolerances and surface finishes that instrumentation, medical and automotive work demands.

Stamping & Fine Blanking

Progressive-die stamping for flat and formed sheet-metal parts, and fine blanking where the cut edge itself has to be a functional surface — square, burr-free and to tolerance without secondary machining. 30 million pieces a year.

Die Casting

Aluminium and zinc components with thin walls, complex internal features and a good as-cast finish, at 20 million pieces a year. Machining, surface treatment and sub-assembly can all be handled before the parts ship.
