Despite the current economic mood of gloom we are hopeful of building on the successes and new initiatives of 2008. Our bespoke panel business has increased its customer base significantly and in the modular build sector a new panel construction offering the highest security capability has proved very successful. In the Commercial Vehicle Division, a favourable exchange rate is adding to our export competitiveness and after investing in significant additional capacity the market leading Smoothliner 3 flush door system is now available on greatly reduced lead times and is more competitive than ever. We will also be introducing a new universal locking mechanism, complementary door system and slip resistant flooring range.


Bespoke Panel Products

Panel Lamination LineWith over 30 years of manufacturing experience already to our name, we have further continually invested in the very latest expertise, technologies and systems available. This allows us to ensure the optimum approach is adopted for each individual material combination through one of the most versatile, up to date and efficient facilities in the industry.

The range of materials we are therefore able to utilise in achieving the required panel properties required is unparalleled, including:

  • Aluminium of various grades and finishes
  • Steels including painted, primed, galvanised and stainless grades
  • Lead
  • , used especially as a facing for construction/lining panels in radiology areas.
  • Rubber and Plastics; a wide range including GRP, PVC, Acrylic, Polycarbonate and ABS
  • Lightweight/Insulation Foams; many types including EPS, XPS, PU, PIR, Phenolic, all with differing characteristics and levels of mechanical and compressive strength, insulation and fire resistance.
  • Wood based sheets; all types such as plywood, MDF, OSB and particle board
  • Decorative HP laminates of all types
  • Dry Lining or Plasterboards based on Cement, Gypsum or other compositions with high fire resistant and sound insulation properties.
  • Honeycombs also are increasingly used to offer excellent strength to weight ratios and the material used, whether aluminium, polycarbonate, polypropylene or other more specialist variants, will be selected according to the required individual properties of the panel.

    As bespoke manufacturers, we produce made-to-order panel constructions to give the customer their required properties for a huge range of applications. Below is a sample of some commonly used panels and applications. Please also see the Gallery page for other examples of our wide range of bespoke products and applications.

    Metal Faced Plywoods
