Stroud Metal can produce such features as long draws over multiple diameters, screw thread rolling, squared and hexagonal sections, multiple windows, material ironing, bulging and knurling; with press capacity ranging from 6 tonnes to 130 tonnes.

It has recently completed the latest phase in its planned growth, namely the completion of its new transfer press facility. The expansion of this facility is already underway to accommodate its Bruderer presses and de-burring equipment, while also giving it the ability to further extend the scope and volume of work.

This purpose-built factory has been specially designed to optimize manufacturing process efficiencies and create an environment ideally suited to support the requirements of the environmental standard ISO14001 and the automotive quality standard TS16949.

Matthew Large emphasised that a policy of re-investment was key to the company’s recent success and over last 3 years, Stroud Metal has re-invested more than €5m in new premises, people and equipment. In addition it has developed an exclusive range of transfer presses which offer higher production efficiencies and accuracy than traditional designs of presses and up to 16 working tooling stations to accommodate more demanding component geometries.
