Wilkes Iris has over a century of iris manufacturing expertise behind it, and is a force to be recognised in precision pressing and milling. The original work on irises provided an above-average technology base. In recent years a growing percentage of output has been to other sheet metal products, some associated with concert lighting, and disco/night club lights, but many outside this sector such as architectural and gallery illumination.

Fine blanking in metal sheet from 10 microns to 6mm, and to 'tool-room tolerances', are the order of the day with a variety of coatings and finishes available. With this demand the factory has continued to grow and develop, with larger presses and CNC machinery introduced, a further expansion is planned to keep up with the demands of a still growing customer base.
