About Us
HISTORY
September 1994 saw the birth of Metal Processes (1959) Limited’s advance in to an exciting “NEW TECHNOLOGY” that was changing American manufacture. The production starting point of a products production cycle changed from the historical use of flat sheet material to the laser cut and formed blank.
Laser cut and formed blanks influenced the UK production and started a cost down evolution of the product build, raw material sheet stocks could be reduced, opening up extra manufacturing floor space and avoiding the need to employ skills for marking out, cutting shapes and drilling holes.
Those Companies that followed the purchase route of Laser cut and folded parts were able to cut their delivery dates and save costs by using pre produced sub-assemblies.
In 1994, Metal Processes (1959) Limited seized this opportunity and became one of the 8, subcontract flatbed Laser cutters in the UK. Our knowledge of Laser cutting technology has grown during those years and we have been part of the subsequent number of contributors to the exponential advancement in the laser applications and machine capabilities including advances in software programming and control.

PRESENT
More than 25 years has seen the growth in the number of users of Laser cut and formed parts and because of that demand there are now approaching 700 Laser cutting companies who have entered in to this market. Competition stimulates efficiency and from our small pool of competitors in 1994 to the new masses of current competitors, our company has become leaner, smarter and proactive with a fully experience team of engineers, who are given autonomy to talk direct to our customers and personally manage their orders. We do not employ machine operators, we employ setter operators who set, produce and execute our rigid quality inspection during the cutting cycle.
Using the best of new manufacturing machinery and strict routine maintenance, we achieve 97% production up time ensuring that we meet the customers agreed delivery time.
Good production planning is not Rocket Science we schedule our 24 hour working, 5 days each week, leaving gaps for those urgent next day jobs and if we do not receive these urgent orders we just draw down the next scheduled job, simple and effective.
