Where we are now
Now we’re having some fun with our own.
For more than 40 years we’ve cut, punched, bent, welded and occasionally sworn at stainless steel, aluminium and sheet metal.
We’ve made thousands of products for other people — from bakery and catering equipment to shopfitting, industrial products, prototypes and things that started life as a sketch on the back of an envelope.
Along the way we learnt something.
It wasn’t the metal we loved. It was seeing what people made from it.
Today we’re still manufacturing for other people. But we’re also going back through 40 years of experience, exploring forgotten inventions and old patents, questioning what we’ve always been told about materials, and developing a few products of our own.
“The problems haven’t changed. Manufacturing has.”
Three places to start
The Patent Project
Old inventions. Forgotten ideas. Modern manufacturing.

Ideas we’re finding, questioning, designing, prototyping and putting into production.
Some will work brilliantly. Some will teach us something.
