We have a process-driven methodology, whether working with new or established customers. Such phase methodology ensures that projects move smoothly from ideas to design, through prototyping and into production. Creativity is never stifled; we believe that there are no bad ideas, just those that need refining or repositioning. We enjoy working alongside our customers giving them the courage to innovate.
Our team of product and automotive design engineers, CAD engineers, project managers, quality assurance engineers and production team are all focused on providing an On-Time-In-Full service to our customers. Whether designing and developing within our usual product range or stretching our “innovation envelope” with a technology startup, we maintain close control on the process to ensure minimal risk and maximum result.
The Way Forward
We want to maintain our reputation as innovators in the global automotive market for design, development and production of specialist mechanical and electrical actuation systems.
Our aim is to be renowned throughout the world for our engineering design and manufacturing expertise, our innovation in thought and deed and our commitment to excellent service.
We believe that the application of thought processes that are creative and different, coupled with knowledge, intellect and engineering skill allows us to develop ideas into products which consistently exceed our customers' expectations.
