nightofjoy Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Hi. What would you call the type of manufacturing of items made from pressed steele - like tins, baking trays etc? Looking for someone to make something, but don't quite know how to start searching lol
JohnKay Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 I really can't think of the name you're looking for, but I do know this could be a mighty expensive thing, as all the machines have to be made for the purpose, with moulds and dies made for that particular job. So unless you need a few thousand components !!! What is it you want to produce ? I may be able to come up with something.

JohnKay Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Could be wrong, but I don't think there's a facility for PM's on this forum, and wouldn't want to do anything against the rules !

I understand there will be initial tooling costs, as I've just gone through a similar process with a plastic product. I'd be ordering about 1000 pieces to start with.
JohnKay Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 Try looking for - Pressworks, or metal pressings.there's one place I know of, Claridge One-stop engineering, But they're no where near Manchester. I'm sure that if you call into a small local engineering company, they would know of a specialist near you, as they may use them from time to time.
