We build the tool, then we build the part
Metpress began as a specialist manufacturer of precision-engineered components for Original Equipment Manufacturers, and that work continues alongside our own product ranges.
Because our toolroom designs, manufactures, maintains and refurbishes our own production tooling, a bespoke component does not depend on an outside supplier's lead time. That is what makes a custom part commercially viable at production volume.
- Concept and CAD design through to commercial production
- Engineering analysis, rapid prototyping and in-house testing
- Metal components, fabrication, assembly and custom manufacturing
- Inspection and testing at every stage, under ISO 9001
