- Full tooling range from 14 mm to 30 mm OD
Have a bent tube component, sample or drawing? Send it to us and we’ll advise on manufacture.
Welded Tubular Assemblies Bent, welded and finished metal assemblies supplied ready for use.
What this means
We can take individual bent or cut metal parts and turn them into complete welded assemblies. This is useful for customers who want a finished component rather than managing separate suppliers for bending, welding and finishing.
Typical applications

- Gema Optiflex powder applicators
- ICS TAE EVO031 chiller unit
- Atlas Copco GX4 air compressor
Want your parts supplied finished? We can manufacture, clean and powder coat components in-house.
Prototype to Production Support from CAD, sample or idea through to repeatable manufactured parts.
What this means
We can help customers turn an idea, drawing or existing sample into a manufacturable metal component. This is useful for businesses that need practical manufacturing input, not just a quote against a finished design.
Typical applications
