Metal Manufacturing FAQs

JC Metalworks fabricates several metals including stainless steel (cut up to 20mm thick), mild steel (cut up to 25mm thick) and aluminium (cut up to 16mm thick). These thicknesses depend on the material grade and project requirements. If you need any technical support on your chosen material, we are more than happy to help.

JC Metalworks provides solutions for a wide range of industries requiring metal fabrication services. These include, but are not limited to, construction, transport, medical, defence, retail and food processing. For more details, visit our industries page to see how we can help your sector.

Our facilities and machinery enable us to deliver high-volume production across our full range of metal fabrication services. On an average monthly basis, we fabricate 100+ tonnes of sheet metal, and produce and supply 15,000 products nationwide. If you require high-volume production, partner with JC Metalworks.

At JC Metalworks, we follow an established framework to ensure the highest quality standards of our work. We are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 accredited, ensuring our work adheres to stringent quality and environmental procedures.

We build to the exact standards every time. This is thanks to tight tolerance control (down to ±0.1mm), a continuous commitment from every team member for zero tolerance on compromised workmanship. We follow strict in-process inspection and verification, regularly train employees to develop new skills, and conduct frequent internal audits and reviews of our processes to ensure our quality standards are upheld.

We have developed a quality system known as the 5S. This ensures our workplace is organised and remains consistent to improve safety, reduce errors and deliver quality every time. The 5S stands for:

• Sort: remove waste and anything not needed for the job
• Set in order: well-organised tools and fixtures stored so our team finds what they need quickly
• Shine: cleaning doubles and we perform thorough inspections to spot wear, leaks and drift early
• Standardise: established work instructions and processes available at point of use
• Sustain: regular audits, reviews and ownership at cell level

Our metal fabrication and manufacturing facilities are located in Loughborough, Leicestershire. From here, we fabricate, store and dispatch products to our clients nationwide. As some products we manufacture and assemble are branded or feature plastic or electrical components, we take expert care to ensure products remain in quality condition during storage and shipping.
