Industries
Industries we serve
Castings, forgings, machining, sheet metal and electrical components are made in the same way whoever buys them. Our specialists work across the industries that depend on them.
Where we work
Five groups, one set of processes.
The same categories run through all of them. What changes is the volume, the standard and who has to approve the part.
Mobility
Automotive & Mobility
OEMs and Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers facing cost-down pressure, new programmes and localisation.
IndustryEV & New Mobility
New supply bases for electrical systems, cost targets set early and fast industrialisation.
IndustryRailways & Rolling Stock
Fabrication, castings, forgings and electricals under demanding approval regimes.
Energy, process & flow
Energy & Electrical Equipment
Transformers, switchgear and motors: electrical content, enclosures and machined parts.
IndustryRenewables: Wind & Solar
Large castings and forgings, structures and balance-of-plant, under relentless cost-down pressure.
IndustryOil, Gas & Process Equipment
Forgings, castings and machining under inspection, traceability and long lead times.
IndustryPumps, Valves & Flow Control
Castings and precision machining, in high mix and small batches.
Capability map
The same categories, across every industry.
Where our specialists interrogate a category at process level, and where we take work on case by case.

What they share
In every one, cost is decided in the part, the process and the supplier.
Cost pressure
Targets that negotiation alone cannot meet.
Supply resilience
Supply bases that need to be less concentrated and better understood.
Supplier readiness
Programmes that depend on suppliers being ready when the plan says they will be.
Specification
Cost that was designed in, and that nobody asked for.
