We believe the integrated services across our group companies give us a genuine advantage. Our forgings and rolled rings are heat treated, tested and proof-machined in‑house, creating a solid foundation for a seamless workflow. Built over decades and driven by vastly experienced teams, this structure underpins a true metals management service.
Extensive heat treatment facilities featuring 30 furnaces capable of handling loads up to 25 tonnes and 10 metres in length, with water, oil and polymer quenching capability. Fully approved to NADCAP aerospace standards.
A UKAS 17025 and NADCAP approved laboratory delivering comprehensive material testing services, including mechanical, metallurgical, corrosion and analytical examination.
Delivering a wide range of in‑house and on‑site non‑destructive inspection services, including ultrasonic and surface examinations, carried out by operators qualified up to ISO 9712 Level III.
Utilising over 30 leading CNC and conventional machine tools for turning, milling and boring, providing an essential service in the supply of machined components.
Qualified process metallurgists and materials engineers with decades of experience support our sales and manufacturing teams. This strong and diverse skill set has enabled us to create dedicated teams across our various process operations whether this be for nickel alloy, stainless or engineering steel grades.
A deep understanding of customer and industry specifications is maintained with long-standing relationships with the major OEM’s, ensuring we are at the forefront of the developments in raw material requirements.
Working closely with our customers, suppliers and a fully integrated company structure, our technical experts provide a world-renowned support service for the manufacture and supply of complex forgings and raw materials.
The supply of complex parts for challenging environments often requires specific pre‑manufacturing documentation. Our dedicated technical teams ensure that part‑ or project‑specific requirements are clearly defined and fully documented prior to production. A systematic description outlines each key process stage — from raw material through to the machined product — with clear references to the controlling documents, specifications and procedures, including any required third‑party or witness points.
We work in a global industry, and having multi‑lingual employees supports our commitment to delivering a comprehensive, high‑quality service for overseas customers. Languages offered include Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, German, French, Spanish and Polish. Our regional representatives further strengthen this capability by providing local expertise and language support in Mandarin, Hindi and Tamil.
An integral feature in the supply of critical components is the coordination of inspection activities, managed by our experienced team to ensure a superior service for our customers.
Each day we welcome inspectors to witness/review processes or release certification. LRQA are on site daily, and we receive regular visits from DNV, ABS, BV and a wide range of end‑user representatives.
Supported by long‑standing relationships with all major inspection authorities, we also benefit from having full control of the manufacturing process, with all group companies located in close proximity.
Established in 1999, our sister company SQA Inc was formed in Houston, U.S.A. Specialising in the distribution of bars and forgings in nickel-based superalloys, duplex, super duplex, martensitic and high strength stainless steels.
