The business comprehensive metal pressing facility offers progression presswork for high volume parts, simple single stage tooling for medium to low demand with more complex Deep Drawn press work up to 75 tonne capacity producing a diverse range of pressings.
The company has the facility to supply both large and small parts together with large or small batches; it has traded successfully for many years with current level of equipment still maintaining the levels of production that the customer base demands.
The business has its own internal inspection procedures to ensure customers receive only the highest quality products and services. This internal capability enables the business to take on varied and challenging projects for its clients and customers.

Expansion Potential

It also has the ability to enter new markets should a new owner so wish as it has a sterling reputation in place.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business could benefit from a more strategic internal medium/long term sales and marketing planning. It has a basic yet informative website but does very little in the way of proactive marketing.
