Copper Solutions That Keep Your Production Moving

Red metals, including copper and its alloys such as brass and bronze, are widely used across many industries due to their exceptional performance characteristics.
_{Copper is one of the most efficient electrical conductors available, second only to silver, making it essential for electrical components, power systems and electronics. It also offers excellent thermal conductivity, allowing heat to transfer efficiently in applications such as heat exchangers, cooling systems and HVAC equipment.}

_{In addition, copper alloys provide strong natural corrosion resistance, making them suitable for demanding environments including marine, plumbing and industrial applications. Red metals are also highly formable and machinable, enabling them to be shaped and processed into complex components while maintaining durability and performance. As copper and its alloys are also 100% recyclable without losing their properties, they support more sustainable manufacturing. These qualities make red metals a versatile and reliable choice for sectors including automotive, electrical engineering, construction, renewable energy and general manufacturing.}

Metal Coil Slitting

We can offer you advanced coil slitting solutions for copper, brass and bronze alloys, delivering precision slit coil products tailored to your exact manufacturing requirements.Our coil slitting lines feature razor slitters capable of holding extremely tight width tolerances, we provide one of the most versatile slitting capabilities available, with material thickness ranges from 0.05 mm to 5.00 mm.

Our specialist slitting services include traverse winding, edge dressing and precision slit coil processing, helping to improve material handling, consistency and production efficiency for demanding applications. We are able to offer flexible processing solutions alongside industry-specific requirements and certifications, including IATF and aerospace specifications.

With extensive experience in copper fabrication and machining, combined with state-of-the-art production equipment, we deliver tailored fabrication solutions designed to meet the specific requirements of your project. Our fabrication capabilities include CNC machining for copper extrusions and long products, enabling us to manufacture unique product features with precision and consistency.

Copper fabrication provides a cost-effective solution for manufacturers by reducing processing time and delivering materials ready for application. By supplying fabricated and processed components directly to specification, we help streamline production, improve efficiency and reduce overall labour costs.

The durability and performance characteristics of copper also make it an ideal material for fabrication. Its excellent strength, conductivity and corrosion resistance allow complex components and structures to be produced without compromising material integrity or long-term performance.

Supported by our extensive processing expertise we can provide copper fabrication solutions for a wide range of industrial and engineering applications.

We provide precision CNC machining solutions for copper, brass and bronze components, using advanced equipment including grinders, lathes, mills and routers to produce complex parts with high accuracy and consistency.

Our capabilities include advanced numerical and five-axis machining, enabling us to deliver everything from rough machining to precision-finished components, including multi-face machining in a single setup for improved efficiency and precision.

At our Preston and Milton Keynes sites, we also operate additional CNC machines for flat and Long products, machining materials up to 254mm thick and supplying precision-cut plates to exact specifications with fast lead times.

Our waterjet cutting capabilities provide precise cold-cut processing without creating heat-affected zones, making it ideal for applications requiring high material integrity and clean edge quality. In addition, our laser cutting services enable fast, efficient and highly accurate cutting for complex profiles and detailed component designs.

We deliver reliable, cost-effective cutting solutions designed to support demanding industrial and engineering applications. Additionally, we use high-quality equipment to tailor the materials to your preferred dimension and provide you with ready to use material. This includes:

Laser Cutting
Guillotining
Waterjet Cutting
