Metal Forming & Metal Bending - Specialist UK Manufacturers

Our dedicated metal forming department specialises in precision CNC press braking and folding, utilising state-of-the-art machinery to accurately bend sheet metal into exact shapes and angles. We are expertly equipped to handle both straightforward and intricate metal forms with consistent repeatability, ensuring high-quality results for every project.

We form a wide range of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised sheet. Each material has unique characteristics, and our experienced team adjusts tooling and settings accordingly for optimal results.

We can form sheet metal up to 4 meters in length and up to 10mm thick, depending on the material. With our CNC-controlled press brakes, we’re able to maintain tight tolerances and achieve precise angles across the entire bend.

Our CNC press brakes deliver exceptional accuracy in metal forming, typically holding tolerances within an impressive ±0.2mm. This precision, combined with the expertise of our experienced operators and rigorous in-process quality checks, guarantees consistent bends and high-quality finishes for all your fabricated parts.

Yes, we can source or manufacture custom tooling for specialised projects. Whether your design includes complex flanges, hems, or offset bends, we’ll work with you to find the best forming solution.

Absolutely. Our advanced press brake setups and skilled operators can handle parts with multiple bends in different directions. We ensure precise sequencing and alignment to maintain part integrity and function.

Yes, we support both. Whether you’re testing a prototype or ramping up for full-scale production, our forming department is equipped to handle small batches through to large-volume orders with consistent quality.

Definitely. Our experienced engineers are readily available to review your design drawings and provide valuable suggestions for design tweaks. This collaborative approach to Design for Manufacturability (DFM) in metal forming helps improve production efficiency, reduce overall costs, and ensure your part can be formed efficiently without compromising its intended function.

We achieve superior bend accuracy and repeatability through the use of cutting-edge CNC press brakes, equipped with precision back gauges, advanced angle measurement systems, and precise digital controls. This sophisticated technology, combined with our operators’ expertise and strict process controls, guarantees accurate, repeatable results every single time.

Yes, forming is often just one step in the fabrication journey. We integrate it seamlessly with cutting, punching, welding, and finishing to deliver complete, ready-to-assemble components or products.

Our forming department is equipped with advanced, industry-leading machinery to ensure precision and efficiency. We operate multiple Amada CNC punch machines, including one with automatic tool changing for high-speed, flexible production. For bending, we utilise an LVD Easy-Form press brake with real-time angle correction and a Salvagnini automatic panel bender for high-volume, complex panel work. We also have three Haeger PEM insertion machines for fast, reliable installation of fasteners into sheet metal components.
