Design Engineering and Support
Our extensive in-house capabilities allow us to offer bespoke prototype solutions. With design and engineering input from the outset, we are able to provide our customers with valuable technical support. We encourage collaboration to, firstly, seek cost saving opportunities in design or specification whilst still achieving the desired outcome and, secondly, avoid any design changes or issues further down the line. This goes in-hand with extensive timing plans to monitor and report back key milestones to our customers. We pride ourselves on delivering on time always and to the highest industry standards.
Tooling
Significantly reduced tooling lead times for prototyping are achieved by different tool materials and methods to our volume tools. As a result, parts can be delivered from 5 weeks of confirmation. Our in-house tool manufacturing also gives us total control and we can rapidly respond to change, preventing delays in schedules. Highly complex parts and forms are equally achievable for prototypes, with the complexity dictating the number of tools and subsequently the cost.
Processes
Our in-house processes such as perforating, expanding, laser cutting, and brake pressing also enable us to keep tooling costs to a minimum as well as photo etching capabilities. We are able to use more in-house processes to reduce capital expenditure for tooling and achieve lower lifetime costs for low volume.
We are able to take our prototyping approach for pre-production phases and also full programmes of volumes from 30 cars to 15,000.
Our Products
Manufacturing premium quality perforated and formed products that are designed, engineered, coated and assembled specifically to meet the exacting standards of the global automotive industry.
Our perforating, expanding, and forming capabilities allow us to produce engine covers and air intake grilles over the exterior of the car.
