At our facility in Knowsley Liverpool, we offer expert metal forming solutions tailored to meet the needs of diverse industries. From simple sheet bending to complex shaping, our metal forming capabilities ensure tight tolerances, repeatable results, and consistent material integrity. Using state-of-the-art press brakes, rollers, and hydraulic forming machines, we work with mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and more — all formed with care and precision. Whether you're after high-volume production or custom prototypes, our team delivers reliable turnaround and unbeatable quality.
WHAT IS METAL FORMING?
Metal forming is an essential process in modern manufacturing, playing a critical role in everything from structural components to intricate enclosures. We support a wide range of sectors, including construction, agriculture, marine, and energy. Our team ensures each piece formed matches the exact specifications of your project while minimising material waste and labour time. With in-house expertise and quality assurance checks at every stage, our metal forming service gives you confidence in every component we deliver.
COMMON APPLICATIONS:
-
Control Panels & Switchgear Housings
Metal forming allows us to create durable and precisely shaped enclosures for electrical panels and switchgear. These components need tight tolerances and clean finishes to ensure safety, functionality, and professional appearance in electrical installations.
-
Machine Frames & Enclosures
We form steel and aluminium sheets into rigid, load-bearing frames that serve as the backbone of industrial machinery. This ensures strength, alignment, and protection for internal systems while maintaining accessibility and aesthetics.
-
Agricultural Equipment Panels
Formed panels for tractors, harvesters, and farming machinery must withstand heavy use and tough environments. Our formed components provide strength, weather resistance, and perfect fit for fast assembly in agricultural manufacturing.
-
HVAC Ductwork & Chassis Parts
Precision metal forming is key in shaping ducting, brackets, and frames for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Clean edges and accurate bends help prevent airflow disruption and allow seamless system integration.
FAQs
-
Metal forming is a manufacturing process where metal is shaped without removing material. It involves techniques like bending, rolling, and pressing to achieve the desired shape while preserving the material’s integrity and strength.
-
We work with a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, mild steel, aluminium, copper, and brass. If you have a specific material in mind, we’re happy to advise on its formability and recommend the best process.
-
Our equipment allows us to form both thin gauge sheet metal and thicker structural plates. We’ll assess the specific requirements of your project and recommend the most efficient forming method accordingly.
-
Yes, we provide custom tooling and die setups for projects with specific design requirements. This ensures precise results and consistent quality across all formed parts.
-
Absolutely. Our metal forming processes are set up for both one-off prototypes and full-scale production. We maintain tight tolerances and fast lead times, no matter the quantity.
