Everything sorted in one place – fabrication, belting and fasteners

No more repeating yourself or chasing up multiple suppliers. Your engineering, conveyor belting, fasteners and supply are handled by people who already know your setup and what usually gives trouble.

  • Faster turnaround with skills and parts based locally
  • Straightforward contact with people who know how things run in the region
  • Engineering designed for the way you operate
You will find about 25 on the crew, from ticketed welders updating tickets every six months to apprentices learning on the job. Urgent repairs, new installs or maintenance – your job is finished to suit marine and industrial standards.

Your project is run to avoid compliance headaches and last-minute problems. See our fasteners range.

  • Crews ready when time is tight – marine or industrial
