nightofjoy Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnKay Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnKay Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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.
