In 1987, after many years of working for the M.o.D. we were assessed by the Defence Quality Assurance Board and subsequently registered to A.Q.A.P. 4 Edn.2 in 1988. As the D.Q.A.B. ceased to function some years later, we moved our quality accreditation over to B.S.5750 and are now registered to the new standard of BS.EN.ISO 9002 : 1994.

Our fully equipped workshops contain a very comprehensive hydraulic testing area which includes a 110hp hydraulic pump test rig, a hydraulic motor test rig, qty 2 hydraulic ram test rigs and a 22 station valve test rig with connections on each station for electrically operated solenoid testing. We have our own machining department consisting of:- qty 4 honing machines, a shot blasting machine, 4 centre lathes, 2 milling machines, a horizontal boring machine, a 4ft throat redial drill and various bench drills and grinding/lapping machines. Our welding department contains 2 MIG, 1 ARC and 1 TIG welding machines as well as oxy-acetelene equipment.
