''The SMV presses have become the workhorses of our production and have also enabled us to take on more demanding jobs, such as third tier automotive work, which dictate complicated 'progression tooling'. The investment in the HiSpeed Hare presses has allowed us to scrap off older mechanical presses when repairs become prohibitive. The flexibility and quick tool changeovers on the Hares have helped us to reduce inventory and increased operator satisfaction."

The Press Shop is supported by a well equipped Tool Room for tool repairs and modifications as well as the design and manufacture of new tooling.

All zinc metal finishing is done inhouse with an automatic barrel plating plant, which enables a complete service to be offered to customers.
